Equipment

  • Food Processor

Ingredients
 

  • 2 canned salmon (6oz each) drained
  • 4 oz cream cheese
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • 1 green onion chopped
  • ½ cup chopped dill
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp salt

Instructions
 

  • Drain the water or oil from the canned salmon. Remove any bones or skin.
  • Blend the cream cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream in a food processor until smooth.
  • Add the salmon, chopped dill, chopped green onion, salt, black pepper and lemon juice and pulse until combined. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Notes

No food processor? Soften the cream cheese at room temperature for 30 minutes. Use a whisk to beat the cream cheese, mayo and sour cream until smooth in a medium bowl. Chop the dill and green onion finely. Then stir everything together until combined.
Storage: If you're making this salmon dip ahead of time for a party or a big batch to have on hand or have any leftovers, store it in an airtight container in the fridge.
The leftovers will keep for a week in the fridge and if you're going to serve at a party I recommend making it only one or two days ahead.
Smoked salmon dip: to make a smoked salmon dip with this recipe, you can add a teaspoon of liquid smoke along with other ingredients. Or use smoked salmon instead of canned salmon.
Spicy: to make this canned salmon dip spicy add cayenne pepper, red pepper flakes, minced jalapeno or tabasco hot sauce.
Garlic: Add one teaspoon garlic powder or one clove of minced garlic if you prefer a garlicky flavor.
