Fresh And Smoked Salmon Spread Recipes

Steps:

• Cream the cheese in an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment until just smooth. Add the sour cream, lemon juice, dill, horseradish, salt, and pepper, and mix. Add the smoked salmon and mix well. Chill and serve with crudites or crackers.
• If you can find it, I prefer Norwegian salmon; it's drier and less salty than other smoked salmon.

Steps:

• In a food processor, add the smoked salmon along with the mayonnaise and some pepper. Pulse just until the salmon is broken up into slightly smaller pieces. Do not overmix.
• Place the mixture into a bowl and combine with the raw salmon and creme fraiche or sour cream. You may add more or less depending on how creamy you like it. Add the shallot, lemon zest and juice and half the chives. Season with pepper; the mixture will likely not need salt due to the smoked salmon.
• Transfer the mixture to a shallow wide bowl and cover with the remaining chives. Serve with crostini.

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan of simmering water, poach the salmon filets 10 minutes, or until flaky and tender.
• In a medium bowl, mix together cream cheese, sour cream, green onions, salt, hot pepper sauce, lemon juice and Worcestershire sauce.
• Flake salmon into the mixture. Cover and refrigerate 8 hours, or overnight, before serving.

Steps:

• Place wine, shallots and 1 teaspoon of the salt in a large saucepan and bring to a boil. Add the fresh salmon and poach for 40 seconds. Drain in a sieve and run cold water over the fish just to stop the cooking. Drain well and refrigerate until cold, at least 1 1/2 hours. Discard the poaching liquid.
• Place smoked salmon in a large bowl and stir in the chives. Add the poached salmon and use the side of a wooden spoon to shred the salmon as you mix. Stir in the lemon juice, mayonnaise and pepper. Add sea salt to taste.
• Refrigerate up to 6 hours, then serve with toasted baguettes.

Steps:

• Puree the cream cheese, sour cream, lemon juice and tabasco in a food processor.
• Add the scallions, capers, salmon, chopped dill and pepper, and pulse to blend.
• Garnish with the dill and serve chilled or at room temperature with crackers.
