"In the kitchen, there's no better way to prepare for a last-minute job than with a well-equipped tool belt. Often, the right tool for the job is none other than canned salmon. Shelf-stable canned salmon is a versatile, flavorful, protein-forward pantry staple that can add sophisticated flavor to any dish - and one of our favorite crowd-pleasing ways to use canned salmon is to transform it into an elevated fish dip."
"Whether you're entertaining surprise guests or hosting a pre-night-out cocktail hour at home, salmon dip makes an ideal appetizer. Plus, thanks to the fact that canned salmon comes fully cooked and ready to eat, assembling a dimensional chilled fish dip doesn't even require turning on the stove. Foodies can feel good about the lean protein and omega-3s packed into every bite of that nourishing salmon, too (about 22 grams of protein per 3.5-ounce serving)."
"To whip up a quick, flavorful canned fish dip, start by thoroughly draining your tinned salmon to avoid a soggy texture. Then, using a fork, simply mash the salmon with a mixture of cream cheese and sour cream or mayonnaise, adding body with a rich dairy element. Indeed, many of our go-to appetizer recipes start with a block of cream cheese."
Shelf-stable canned salmon provides a versatile, protein-rich pantry staple that can be transformed into an elevated chilled fish dip. Canned salmon arrives fully cooked and ready to eat, so assembling a dimensional dip does not require turning on the stove. Drain tinned salmon thoroughly to avoid soggy texture, then mash with cream cheese and sour cream or mayonnaise to add body. A 15-ounce can yields roughly four to eight servings depending on the amount of dairy and mix-ins. Bright acidity from lemon juice, caper brine, or dill pickle relish and fresh herbs like dill add balance and freshness. Canned salmon also supplies lean protein and omega-3s.
