Salmon Dip

I have bought salmon dip from the store and not only is it super expensive but it only has a tiny bit of salmon flavor! This dip is SO much better and you can taste the smoked salmon so strongly in every single bite! Plus, when you combine it with some tangy cream cheese and some lemon, garlic, and dill… well… It doesn’t get much better!

I especially love this dip because you can use it on so many occasions! It’s fancy enough to use at a holiday dinner as an appetizer. Or, you can whip it up for yourself and put it on some crackers, a crostini, or even a toasted bagel at breakfast. This dip is insanely delicious! In fact, because it only takes 5 minutes to whip up, I bet that you make it all the time! I know that I do. Enjoy!

Ingredients for Smoked Salmon Dip

When you mix these ingredients together you are mixing up a little slice of heaven! It’s so, so good! See the recipe card below for a list of exact ingredient measurements!

  • Cream cheese: If you set this out beforehand so that it is at room temperature when you mix it then the dip will be so much smoother!
  • Mayonnaise: Low fat or regular will work just fine!
  • Sour cream: This helps give it a little bit of tang.
  • Smoked salmon: Just chop this up quickly, it doesn’t need to be perfect since you are mixing it in anyway.  
  • Lemon juice: I just used bottled lemon juice for this recipe but you can always use fresh!
  • Garlic powder: I love anything with garlic.
  • Worchestershire: You may not be able to say that word but it sure makes any recipe delicious!
  • Dill: This is the secret ingredient to making this dip extra tasty!

What to Serve It With

If you are looking at this smoked salmon dip thinking that it looks super delicious but you have no idea what to eat it with… I’m here to tell you! Here are some ideas that are so delicious to eat with this dip!
