For The Salmon Dip:

  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice freshly squeezed
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill chopped
  • 2 tablespoons green onions chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Step 1: Preparing The Salmon

  • Begin by cooking the salmon if it’s not already cooked. You can poach, grill, or bake it according to your preference. Once done, flake the salmon into bite-sized pieces and set it aside to cool.

Step 2: Mixing The Base

  • In a mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, and Dijon mustard. This trio will form the creamy base of your dip. The Greek yogurt provides a tangy, thick texture without the need for cream cheese.

Step 3: Adding Zest

  • Squeeze some fresh lemon juice into the mixture to infuse it with a zesty and refreshing flavor. Be sure to balance it to your taste.

Step 4: Embracing Freshness

  • Toss in the chopped fresh dill, green onions, and minced garlic. These ingredients will impart a burst of freshness and a delightful aroma to your salmon dip.

Step 5: Incorporating The Salmon

  • Gently fold the flaked salmon into the creamy mixture. Ensure an even distribution of the salmon to achieve the perfect balance of flavors.

Step 6: Seasoning To Perfection

  • Season your dip with salt and pepper according to your preference. Remember that the salmon may already have some natural saltiness, so be mindful.

Step 7: Chill Time

  • Transfer your salmon dip into a serving bowl, cover it, and refrigerate for at least an hour. Chilling allows the flavors to meld together for an exquisite taste.
