Alaska Smoked Salmon Dip Recipe

Craving a creamy, dreamy dip? This Alaskan Smoked Salmon Dip recipe, passed down from a commercial fisherman, is unbelievably delicious!

Wild Alaskan salmon (you can find it at most supermarkets!), tangy sour cream, zesty green onions, and a hint of garlic create a flavor explosion that will have you reaching for more chips and crackers. Get ready for the best smoked salmon dip you've ever tasted! #smokedsalmon #alaskanrecipe #appetizer #dips #partyfood #easyrecipe #salmon

Ingredients for Alaska Smoked Salmon Dip

  • 8 ounces smoked salmon (wild Alaskan preferred)
  • 8 ounces cream cheese
  • 4 tablespoons sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • Tabasco Sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Green Onion

How to Make Alaska Smoked Salmon Dip

  1. In a microwave-safe bowl, soften 8 ounces of cream cheese in 15-second intervals, stirring until smooth and slightly runny.
  2. Gently fold in 8 ounces of chopped smoked salmon until evenly distributed.
  3. Stir in 2 tablespoons of Tabasco sauce, 4 tablespoons of sour cream, and 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise until fully combined and smooth.
  4. Add 2 cloves of minced garlic and 2 tablespoons of chopped green onions. Stir gently to incorporate.
  5. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow flavors to meld. For best results, chill overnight.
  6. Serve chilled with your favorite dippers: crackers, tortilla chips, baguette slices, pretzel rods, or celery sticks. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
