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.
