Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces smoked salmon, flaked

- 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
- 1 tablespoon capers, drained and chopped (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Pinch of salt (taste first due to salmon saltiness)
Instructions
- Place the softened cream cheese, sour cream (or yogurt), lemon juice, dill, capers (if using), and black pepper into a medium bowl.
- Use an electric mixer or a sturdy spoon to beat the ingredients until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Gently fold in the flaked smoked salmon until it is evenly distributed throughout the dip. Do not overmix.
- Taste the dip and add a small pinch of salt if needed.
- Cover the bowl and chill the dip for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
- Serve cold with crackers, vegetable sticks, or toasted bread slices.
Notes
- For a keto friendly salmon dip, serve with cucumber slices or celery sticks instead of crackers.
- You can make this make ahead dip recipe up to 2 days in advance; store it covered in the refrigerator.
- If you prefer a smoother texture, pulse all ingredients except the salmon in a food processor first, then pulse in the salmon briefly.
