Salmon Cream Cheese Dip Tips and Tricks

This recipe calls for using canned salmon, but you can also use the leftover salmon from making my delicious Pressure Cooker Salmon with Orange Ginger Sauce. It's a great way to repurpose your leftovers and create multiple dishes with the same salmon.

This recipe is super simple and is great when you need a quick, delicious, and healthy dip to take to a party. The dip tastes smoked due to the liquid smoke, so you can use any kind of salmon to make this recipe.

I am always skeptical about recipes with canned products, but canned salmon is cheap, nutritious, and most importantly tastes good. It's also a keto recipe with cucumbers, peppers, and more so you won't break your diet by eating this dip.

Lastly, I do recommend letting the dip sit after its made so that the flavors meld together.

Can You Freeze Smoked Salmon Dip?

Technically, yes. But I wouldn't recommend it. While the flavor may not change much once it is defrosted, the texture of the cream cheese might change. It's such a simple salmon dip recipe, you're better off just making it fresh when you're craving it.

What Goes Good With Smoked Salmon?

Smoked Salmon is great paired with so many different things. Obviously I love it paired with cream cheese, like in this keto dip recipe.

However, I also love to use it as a topping for my Air Fryer Baked Potatoes, in my Asparagus and Shrimp Gribiche, and it's even great on my Chili Cheese Toast.
