Ingredients

  • 2 oz poached salmon (see more below)
  • 2 oz smoked salmon (can use offcuts/pieces)
  • 2 tablespoon cream cheese
  • 2 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoon yogurt (can also use mayonnaise)
  • ¼ teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • ⅛ teaspoon paprika
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 pinch pepper

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Place all of the ingredients in a food processor and pulse until smooth. Scrape down the sides and pulse again, as needed, to ensure everything is mixed.
  2. Transfer to a dish for serving, or cover and refrigerate until needed (it will keep a couple days in the fridge).

Notes

  • If you want to poach your own salmon, place around 1 ½in/5cm depth of water in a small pan and add around 2tbsp white wine, 1-2tsp lemon juice and a little salt and pepper. Cover and bring the mixture to a boil. Once simmering, add the salmon, cover and simmer for around 3-6 minutes depending on the thickness of the pieces of salmon until it is cooked through. Once cooked, remove from the poaching liquid and set aside to cool. 
  • If you have leftover baked or other cooked salmon, that will also work as well, as long as it is not flavored with a glaze etc. 
  • Note uncooked and cooked weight of salmon is approximately the same.
