This week's ingredient: Smoked Salmon!! We were really excited to take on the challenge of using FISH as the main ingredient in a quick, fun and tasty snack. We came up with our own twist on a smoked salmon spread, which, after we whipped it up, needed the perfect vehicle to get to our mouths. Luckily, we had a whole bunch of crackers that had just been shipped to our front door from our buddies at Crunchmaster.
We’re gonna say something we NEVER thought we'd say in a bajillion years:
We’ve found a gluten free cracker that we actually like.
Shocking, we know, and don’t expect us to say this regularly because we usually associate gluten-free with cardboard or plywood.
But Crunchmaster cracked the gluten-free code and were kind enough to help us out with this week’s snack.
In this week’s interview with Marc Summers, we learned he actually used to sell smoked salmon to Costco. We immediately decided that we'd pay homage to his job as a salmon salesman by coming up with our own salmon snack.
This smoked salmon spread is SO good, you might enjoy it on actual plywood (but we suggest Crunchmaster crackers, obviously. Here's what you'll need:
Smoked Salmon
8 ounces whipped cream cheese, at room temperature
4 oz goat cheese
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tablespoon chopped shallots
1 tablespoon minced fresh dill
1 teaspoon prepared horseradish, drained
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
6 ounces smoked salmon, minced
In a medium bowl, use an electric mixer to combine all the ingredients.
Serve on crackers, bagels, or just eat with a spoon!
