The best smoked salmon dip I’d ever had was at J. Alexander’s.  I haven’t been there in a very long time but, I remember how good it was and I was jonesing for some so I decided to make my own.  Here’s my own version of Smoked Salmon Dip. It’s a lot of stuff I know but, it’s all necessary if you want the slammingist Smoked Salmon Dip.

Ingredients:

¼ TBSP liquid smoke
1 Small scallion
2 TBSP crushed capers
2 TBSP Fresh dill weed
1 TBSP Finely chopped parsley
1 TBSP Lemon juice
1 TBSP Lime juice
2 TBSP Buttermilk
1-½ tsp Spicy horseradish sauce
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1-½  tsp Cracked black peppercorns
½ tsp Sea salt
½ tsp Cayenne pepper
½ tsp Garlic powder
½ tsp Paprika
1 Cup Sour cream
¼ Cup Mayonnaise
16 oz. Cream cheese
2 TBSP Parmesan (optional)
2 lb Flaked salmon

* Recipe can easily be halved.

Mix all ingredients, chill in the refrigerator for about 3 hours. Garnish with dill and lemon wedges.  This serves about 16. This should definitely be your “go to” Smoked Salmon Dip recipe. If you do try it, post a comment and let me know what you think!
