Ingredients
- 200 grams canned salmon, drained
- 100 grams low-fat cream cheese
- 50 grams Greek yogurt (2% fat)
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 2 tablespoons dill, fresh, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons green onions, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon capers, rinsed and chopped
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Directions
Step 1
Start by draining the canned salmon and removing any bones or skin if necessary.
Step 2
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the drained salmon with the low-fat cream cheese and Greek yogurt.
Step 3
Use a fork to mash and blend the salmon, cream cheese, and yogurt until you have a smooth mixture. This may take a few minutes to ensure the cream cheese is fully incorporated.
Step 4
Add the freshly squeezed lemon juice to the mixture and stir to combine. The acidity of the lemon will enhance the flavor of the spread.
Step 5
Fold in the chopped fresh dill, green onions, and capers. Mix gently to distribute these ingredients evenly throughout the spread.
Step 6
Season the spread with black pepper and salt, adjusting the seasoning to your taste.
Step 7
Transfer the spread to a serving dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld. It can be served immediately, but chilling will enhance the taste.
Step 8
Serve the salmon spread chilled with whole-grain crackers or bagel chips.
