Ingredients

  • 250 gr salmon fillet
  • 100 gr cream cheese French Saint Môret or Philadelphia
  • ½ bunch chives
  • 1 small lemon for juice
  • salt
  • pepper
  • spices Espelette pepper, cumin ...

Instructions

Cook fish

  • Cook salmon for about 8-10 minutes, depending of the thickness of salmon. Either steam, wrap in aluminium foil and cook in the oven with a dash of lemon juice or fry in the pan with a bit of oil.

Prepare dip

  • Coarsely crumble salmon with a fork.
  • Finely chop the chives and add it.
  • Add cream cheese and combine. Optionally if you want a very creamy texture, add more cream cheese (or a tablespoon of greek yoghurt).
  • Season according to your taste with a dash of lemon juice, salt and pepper, and add the spices you like, for example Espelette pepper.
  • Refrigerate before serving, on toast or as a dip to dig in.

Notes

Leave in the refrigerator before serving.
Serve on bread slices (ideally fresh baguette) or as a dip.
