Get ready to taste the best smoked salmon dip you’ve ever had. We have a secret to this dip that sets it apart from the rest!

Smoked Salmon Dip

This recipe has been a must-do since purchasing our Pit Boss Pellet Grill. First we perfected smoked cream cheese. Next we perfected smoked salmon. What do you suppose you get when you put both those recipes together? The most amazing smoked salmon dip recipe you’ve ever tasted! Seriously, this is an absolutely amazing dip that you’ll make more than once.

We made this and enjoyed as a family over the course of a week and plan to make again when we have family visit. It’s a perfect appetizer for anytime but especially great for brunch. It is mentioned in the recipe below and it is worth saying again – save some of your smoked salmon to put on top of the dip when you’re ready to serve.

HOW TO MAKE SMOKED SALMON DIP

Lets dive right in! To start, you need smoked salmon and smoked cream cheese. Yes, you can buy the salmon pre-smoked from the store and yes, you can use regular cream cheese without smoking it but I guarantee you will not get the full experience that taking these extra steps offer. Smoking both of these ingredients yourself is our secret to success with this recipe.

HOW TO EAT SMOKED SALMON DIP

I mean honestly, you can eat this with a spoon. I would advise against it though because that would be a lot of cream cheese to consume! Try serving smoked salmon dip with your favorite crackers such as Wheat Thins, Triscuit’s or Ritz. You could also serve this on a bagel for a delicious treat.
