Growing up in the Pacific Northwest, fresh salmon was always on the menu, and it was always really, really good. But down here in Florida, it’s not quite the same.
Luckily, there is always smoked salmon, which is where this delicious spread comes in. Not only is it easy on the wallet, with just 5 easy ingredients, it couldn’t be any easier!
It is perfect addition to any brunch, or can be served as an elegant appetizer. We love this salmon spread on top of a toasted bagel, but you could also serve it with some crackers, pita bread or veggies to brighten up an afternoon (or any time of the day!) snack.
Here is what you need:
2 3.75 oz cans of smoked salmon 2 8oz. cartons of cream cheese, softened 1/4 cup jalapeno pepper, chopped 1/2 lemon juiced 1/4 cup red onion, chopped black pepperStep 1: In a large bowl, break up smoked salmon with a fork.
Step 2: Then add the softened cream cheese, chopped jalapeno, red onion, lemon juice, and pepper. Mix until all ingredients are combined.
Step 3: Let mixture chill for 30 minutes or serve right away.
This 5 ingredient recipe is perfect for brunch, cocktails or just as an afternoon snack!

Kippered salmon is delicious and is perfect when served with a gentle raspberry vinaigrette mixed green salad topped with either fresh or dried noodle. Also you can follow with the kippered salmon steaks with garlic mashed potatoes, cous cous, or crazy rice. Vegetables to go with the dish can consist of seared asparagus, broccoli, broccoli, or blanched greens.I create this recipe at every weekend. . !
My mouth was watering reading this! I cannot wait to give this a try. Thank you for such wonderful ideas!
How long do you think it would be good in fridge?
It can stay in the fridge for at least a week.But ours never makes it that long. It is so good. :)
Yummy. Having this spread on a pita bread, a little lettuce and some sprouts and that’s a meal for a king. Thank you for sharing this recipe!
