Ina - "My first time making smoked salmon dip. I didn’t have most of the ingredients...I only had worcestershire sauce, dill, milk, cream cheese, and of course smoked salmon. But it still taste delicious to me 😜. I think it’s the “smoked” salmon that already gave the dip it’s taste. I’ll get all the ingredients next time and update y’all"

ReplyDeleteHi Caroline! Thank you for your review. I'm very happy you liked this recipe. It's one of my favorites too.
DeleteHi just wanted to know if it freezes thanks
ReplyDeleteHello! Thanks for your question. I would not recommend freezing this dip.
DeleteIf you can’t find canned smoked salmon you can use regular canned salmon and add a few drops of liquid smoke.
ReplyDeleteHello! Thanks so much for your comment. I've never done this but good to know it will work!
DeleteWill this recipe also bake in a mushroom cap for an appetizer or snack?
ReplyDeleteHello FaJane! I have never stuffed a mushroom cap with this recipe and I do not know if it would work. But if you try it, be sure to come back and let us know how it turned out.
DeleteAre used fresh salmon that I had grilled the night before. Added liquid smoke to it, several drops of Worcestershire sauce, some sprinkles of dill dried, a sprinkle of Tony’s seasoning and it turned out delicious!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your review! I love that you used fresh salmon with liquid smoke to create a smoked salmon flavor and it worked out wonderfully!
DeleteI usually use full fat plain organic yogurt for sour cream.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great swap! Thanks for your comment.
