    🍋 Ingredient Tips

    Smoke salmon dip ingredients including salmon, sour cream, mayo, dill, lemon, capers, cream cheese, salt, and pepper.

    Salmon – Choose thin-sliced smoked salmon in the pack. You can find it the seafood section of most grocery stores.

    Dill – Fresh dill makes a huge difference in flavor so opt for fresh instead of dried.

    Capers – Capers in the jar are almost ready to serve. Just make sure to remove any little stems that are still hanging on.

    📝 Step-by-Step Directions

    Cream cheese, sour cream, lemon juice, and mayo in a small food processor.

    1. In a food processor, add the cream cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, and the juice of the lemon. 

    Blended ingredients in a food processor.

    2. Process until well combined.

    Remaining ingredients added to the food processor.

    3. Add the smoked salmon, capers, dill (make sure to remove the stems), salt, and pepper. 

    Smoked salmon dip all blended together and still in the food processor.

    4. Process. Make sure you don’t let it process for too long though, so you keep little chunks of smoked salmon for texture.

    Finished smoked salmon dip topped with dill and served in a bowl.

    Serve chilled.

    ❓ FAQ

    Can you freeze salmon dip?

    Yes, you can freeze salmon dip. To freeze salmon dip, place the dip in an airtight container or wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and then put it in a freezer-safe bag. Seal tightly and label with the date. Frozen salmon dip should be good for up to two months. When ready to eat, thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving.

    How long does salmon dip last in the fridge?

    Salmon dip can last up to three days in the refrigerator. To ensure that the dip remains safe to eat and at its best quality, it is important to store it in an airtight container or cover it tightly with plastic wrap. This will prevent your refrigerator from smelling like fish too.

    Is salmon dip low-carb?

    Yes! This smoked salmon dip recipe is naturally low-carb. Just be careful what you choose to dip in it. Celery sticks are a great choice to keep carbs down.

    🥖 Serving Ideas

    This smoked salmon dip can be served on top of crostini for an elegant appetizer or even the main dish.

    You can also serve it with tortilla chips, vegetables (cucumber slices are great), crackers, pita chips, or bagel pieces.
