Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 4 oz smoked salmon flaked, skin removed
  • 2 tbsp fresh dill chopped
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice freshly squeezed
  • 1 tsp capers drained and chopped
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper freshly ground
  • 1 clove garlic minced

Method
 

Steps
  1. In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth using a hand mixer or fork.
  2. Add the flaked smoked salmon, chopped dill, lemon juice, capers, black pepper, and minced garlic. Mix until well combined.
  3. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed—add more lemon juice for brightness or pepper for kick.
  4. Transfer the spread to a serving bowl, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  5. Serve chilled with bagel chips, cucumber slices, or crackers.

Notes

For a smoother texture, pulse the mixture in a food processor. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
