Robins Spicy Alaskan Smoked Salmon Spread Recipes

SMOKED SALMON SPREAD

Steps:

• Cream the cheese in an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment until just smooth. Add the sour cream, lemon juice, dill, horseradish, salt, and pepper, and mix. Add the smoked salmon and mix well. Chill and serve with crudites or crackers.
• If you can find it, I prefer Norwegian salmon; it's drier and less salty than other smoked salmon.

Steps:

• 1. Utensils needed: Mixer (with medium sized mixing bowl), food processor, spatula, serving bowl. Preparation time: approximately 20 minutes or less
• 2. Using an electric mixer, beat Cream Cheese until soft then set aside. (You can beat the mixture by hand, but set out the cream cheese until it is room temperature for easier handling.)
• 3. In food processor, finely chop together salmon, peppers and onion.
• 4. Add chopped ingredients to softened Cream Cheese along with the ranch dressing, crushed red pepper and cayenne pepper. Mix thoroughly and transfer to serving bowl.
• 5. Use as a cracker dip with assorted crackers, on raw veggies such as celery ribs, or as a bread spread. Refrigerate unused portion. Optional: Garnish the serving dish with fresh dill, fresh chopped jalapenos, fresh chopped scallions/green onions, or cilantro.
• 6. NOTE: * If the spread is not soft enough, add a small amount of the jalapeno pepper brine/juice from the jar and mix thoroughly. ** You can increase or decrease the peppers and spices, depending upon your taste.

SMOKED SALMON SPREAD

Steps:

• In a food processor, add the smoked salmon along with the mayonnaise and some pepper. Pulse just until the salmon is broken up into slightly smaller pieces. Do not overmix.
• Place the mixture into a bowl and combine with the raw salmon and creme fraiche or sour cream. You may add more or less depending on how creamy you like it. Add the shallot, lemon zest and juice and half the chives. Season with pepper; the mixture will likely not need salt due to the smoked salmon.
• Transfer the mixture to a shallow wide bowl and cover with the remaining chives. Serve with crostini.
