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.

Assemble your ingredients for the salmon spread: Jalapeno, pepper, onion, canned smoked salmon, lemon and cream cheese.

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 pepper

In a large bowl, break up smoked salmon with a fork.

Step 1: In a large bowl, break up smoked salmon with a fork.

Add softened cream cheese, chopped jalapeno, red onion, lemon juice and pepper to salmon in the bowl and mix.

Step 2: Then add the softened cream cheese, chopped jalapeno, red onion, lemon juice, and pepper. Mix until all ingredients are combined.

Allow mixture to serve or serve with bagels right away.

Step 3: Let mixture chill for 30 minutes or serve right away.
