Ingredients for Alaskan Smoked Salmon Sauce

  • 4 ounces smoked salmon, finely chopped
  • Cream Cheese
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • Dill Weed
  • Fresh Parsley
  • Scallion
  • Salt to taste
  • White Pepper
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

How to Make Alaskan Smoked Salmon Sauce

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, and Dijon mustard until smooth.
  2. Gently fold in the smoked salmon, dill, lemon juice, and capers.
  3. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed, adding more lemon juice for brightness or dill for a stronger herbal note.
  4. For best flavor, cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled or at room temperature with crackers, baguette slices, or vegetables.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
