View Recipe this link opens in a new tab

Cold-smoked salmon has a soft texture and buttery flavor, while the hot-smoked variety is more firm and dense. Savor smoked salmon for brunch with cream cheese and bagels or paired with eggs; in all kinds of dips, canapes, and other appetizers; or in salads, sandwiches, or pasta.Smoked salmon mingles with capers, red onion, and horseradish in this cream cheese dip. Add color with a sprinkling of chopped parsley and serve with bagel chips.
