How do you make Captain Jim's salmon dip? ›

Smoked Salmon Dip

Warm cream cheese to room temperature. Add two cans of Captain Jim's Gourmet Alaskan Smoked Salmon (including skin and oil). Mix together with fork; shape into a ball; refrigerate for two hours to blend flavors. Ground nuts or finely chopped parsley may be added for garnish.

Combine the cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, lemon juice, capers, 1/2 of the smoked salmon and Tabasco in a food processor or hand blender. Pulse until blended.

I like a combination of cool cucumbers and tomatoes with bold, peppery radish, red onion, and crispy green peppers. Slicing the veggies thinly into rounds makes them easy to stack with the salmon on top of your favorite cracker, bagel or whatever you serve along.

So, how long can we expect our smoked salmon to dance in the fridge? Well, on average, when stored right, it can strut its stuff for about 3 to 4 days sometime up to a week. But remember, trust your instincts! Give it a good look, a sniff, and a feel to ensure it's still a safe catch.

Smoked salmon is an excellent source of protein, numerous vitamins, and omega-3 fatty acids. Yet, it's much higher in sodium than fresh salmon.

Here's the main difference: smoked salmon is cured and then smoked, whereas lox is only cured, typically in a salt brine and typically for longer periods of time, but not smoked. Smoked salmon is preserved with a combination of salting and smoking, so the flavor can be slightly salty and slightly smoky.

Cheese to use with smoked salmon

Cream cheese is the classic, obvious choice to pair with lox, but other soft cheeses such as goat cheese, labneh, brie, or feta (my favorite!)

Both types of smoked salmon can be eaten cold right out of the package. Hot-smoked salmon can also be reheated and is great in hot dishes. Unlike fresh salmon, which should be prepared and eaten within 48 hours, smoked salmon has a longer shelf life. It can be enjoyed for up to a week.

Ingredients: cream cheese, hot smoked salmon, mustard, horseradish, brandy, chilli, tomato paste, lemon juice. Contains egg yolk & gluten.

This works well when made in advance and will hold in the fridge for up to 5 days. DOWNLOAD OR PRINT RECIPE HERE. Smoked salmon pate is great as a light lunch, dip with crudités or crisps, or as a starter if you have friends over.

When it comes to softened pin bones, you may be able to pulverize them with your fingers while you're breaking down the salmon chunks into smaller parts. If you're making a tasty salmon patty and are putting the fish into a food processor or blender, the pin bones will be crushed as a result.

Straight Out of the Can! Just open the can, maybe squeeze on some lemon, and fork on!
