Description

A creamy, flavorful salmon spread perfect for crackers, sandwiches, or veggie dipping—ready in just 10 minutes!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can of wild-caught salmon (about 6 oz, drained)
  • 1/4 cup cream cheese (or Greek yogurt)
  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill (or 1 tablespoon dried dill)
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Drain the canned salmon and remove any bones or skin. If using fresh salmon, cook and flake it into small pieces.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese (or Greek yogurt) and mayonnaise (if using). Stir until smooth.
  3. Add Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and garlic powder. Mix well.
  4. Add the flaked salmon and gently fold into the creamy base.
  5. Season with salt and pepper, then fold in chopped dill.
  6. Serve immediately with crackers or veggies, or refrigerate for 2-3 days.

Notes

Substitute cream cheese with Greek yogurt for a lighter version. Try fresh herbs like chives or parsley for variety. Avoid overmixing to keep salmon texture flaky.
