Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams canned salmon, drained
- 100 grams low-fat cream cheese
- 50 grams Greek yogurt (2% fat)
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 2 tablespoons dill, fresh, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons green onions, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon capers, rinsed and chopped
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Start by draining the canned salmon and removing any bones or skin if necessary.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the drained salmon with the low-fat cream cheese and Greek yogurt.
Use a fork to mash and blend the salmon, cream cheese, and yogurt until you have a smooth mixture. This may take a few minutes to ensure the cream cheese is fully incorporated.
Add the freshly squeezed lemon juice to the mixture and stir to combine. The acidity of the lemon will enhance the flavor of the spread.
Fold in the chopped fresh dill, green onions, and capers. Mix gently to distribute these ingredients evenly throughout the spread.
Season the spread with black pepper and salt, adjusting the seasoning to your taste.
Transfer the spread to a serving dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld. It can be served immediately, but chilling will enhance the taste.
Serve the salmon spread chilled with whole-grain crackers or bagel chips.
