Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Norwegian smoked salmon
- 225 grams Cream cheese
- 120 milliliters Sour cream
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 2 stalks Green onions (chopped)
- 1 clove Garlic clove (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Capers (optional)
Instructions
1. Place the cream cheese in a medium-sized mixing bowl and allow it to soften at room temperature for about 10–15 minutes, which will make it easier to mix.
2. Chop the Norwegian smoked salmon into small pieces and set aside a small portion (around 20 grams) for garnish if desired.
3. Finely mince the fresh dill, green onions, and garlic. If using capers, roughly chop them and set aside.
4. In the bowl with the softened cream cheese, add the sour cream, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix thoroughly until smooth and creamy using a spatula or hand mixer.
5. Fold in the smoked salmon, minced garlic, half of the dill, and chopped green onions. If you’re including capers, fold them in at this stage as well. Gently mix to distribute the ingredients evenly.
6. Season the mixture with salt and black pepper to taste, ensuring all flavors are well balanced. Avoid adding too much salt, as smoked salmon is naturally salty.
7. Transfer the salmon dip to a serving bowl and garnish the top with the reserved smoked salmon, a sprinkle of dill, and additional green onion if desired.
8. Serve immediately with crackers, toasted bread, or fresh vegetable dippers like sliced cucumber or celery. Alternatively, refrigerate for up to 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld before serving.
