Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz salmon fillet, skinless and boneless
- 4 oz low-fat cream cheese, at room temperature
- 0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
- 1 green onion, finely chopped
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Place the salmon fillet on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for about 8-10 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Let the salmon cool slightly, then flake it into small pieces using a fork.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the low-fat cream cheese and Greek yogurt. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Add the flaked salmon, lemon juice, chopped dill, green onion, black pepper, and garlic powder to the bowl. Stir until all ingredients are well combined.
Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary, keeping in mind the desire to maintain low sodium levels.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve the salmon spread chilled with your choice of low-sodium crackers, bread, or fresh vegetable sticks. Enjoy!
