How to Make Smoky Salmon Spread Ii

Drain one (14.75 ounce) can of Alaska red salmon, reserving about 2 tablespoons of the liquid.
In a medium bowl, beat 8 ounces of low-fat cream cheese with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, 2 tablespoons of low-fat milk, and 2 tablespoons of fresh dill using an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
Gently fold in the drained salmon, reserving some for garnish, and 2 tablespoons of finely chopped green onions. Mix until thoroughly combined.
Add a few drops of liquid smoke (start with 1/4 teaspoon and add more to taste). Stir to incorporate.
Cover and chill for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow flavors to meld and the spread to firm up. Garnish with reserved salmon and extra dill before serving.
