Notes

For the best results, let the smoked salmon dip rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to enhance the flavors. You can prepare this dip a day in advance, making it a great option for entertaining. For a spicier variation, consider adding a dash of hot sauce or a pinch of cayenne pepper. Make sure to use high-quality smoked salmon for a rich, savory flavor.
