Smoked Salmon Goat Cheese Dip Recipe

Written by Published on Updated on October 7, 2022 in Appetizers, Dips

Hey there,

How is everyone doing?  Is it me or did this week go by slowwwwwly.   I am feeling a bit drained and looking forward to the weekend to get some rest.   I love it when the weather is sunny, with clear skies.   This always puts me in the mood for dips and a glass of wine.  This Smoked Salmon Goat Cheese Dip is my first dip for this month and how refreshing and bursting with flavors it is.

I used fresh salmon for this dip I marinated it with smoked paprika spice and olive oil for 2 hours.  Some have used canned salmon to prepare this dip, for me, I think that fresh salmon makes the difference in taste.   I also combined goat cheese with a milder taste and combined it with smooth creamy cheese.  I have not used cream cheese, for this dip but a similar creamy cheese that I found in the market.  Of course, I added my favorite herb dill which was definitely a must for this dip, and just parsley.  Last but not least cucumber is the veggie that gives this dip that super refreshing taste.

Friday afternoon, so it’s time to close the computer and head to the kitchen, I’m baking a cake….:)

Have a great weekend everyone!!

Look out for the Behind the Greek Apron Episode 4 coming soon!! 🙂

Welcome to a small corner of my Greek Heritage. Growing up in New York from Greek parents, was a challenge of its own...but the traditional food, tastes and aromas that my mother cooked always travelled me back to Greece. My mother is a wonderful cook, our house would always have that smell of home cooked food. I remember very clearly that we were only allowed fast food, once a week, that was a huge day for myself and my brother. Jumping up and down in the back car seat, laughing, just being kids. It is true that we all like to eat different foods, taste, smell, even try food that looks different than our regular meals at home and I think that is so natural. In my teens, I was not really into cooking, I enjoyed my magazines after school, listening to music, and just taking a breather. There were times that I would glance at some of my mom's recipes, more out of curiosity than to actually try to cook them. At that time I did not realise that cooking would become my passion one day. Slowly, I would start to look into my mom's recipes a bit more each day and I started to find it interesting as a hobby. Each month I would go into our neighborhood bookstore and pick up my monthly book, until one day I decided to stroll over into the cooking section. That summer was the first time I actually bought a cooking magazine....and I loved it. Cooking and baking started out as a hobby, but now after many years it is my passion. Exploring the cuisines, the spices, the oils, the scents, the variety of smells and tastes that exist. It was and still is an amazing journey without limits. So, come along with me on this adventure, and I hope you enjoy my recipes. Sophie
