I made this using smoked trout rather than salmon and it turned out quite well, although I admit that I tweaked it a bit. I used a lot more than 2 oz. of trout, probably more like three times as much, and I added Old Bay to taste, probably tripling it as well. All the other ingredients were added as indicated in the recipe. I thought it was a bit too stiff to spread, so I added a large dollop of sour cream to help loosen it up. Five stars because Hubs is in smoked trout heaven!

This was pretty tasty. I had some leftover grilled salmon, and I thought this would make a nice snack. At first I thought the cream cheese was overwhelming. I was going to add sour scream, but I didn't have any. Instead I added just a little mayonnaise. It still tasted like it was missing something so I added a tablespoon or so of Frank's Hot Sauce. Used a little extra Old Bay (as my seafood seasoning), a pinch of dill, and a pinch of paprika. Turned out nicely.

Very good! I used two 4oz packages of smoked salmon, added a bit of horseradish, dill weed, extra lemon juice and splash of hot sauce (Louisiana Hot Sauce) and it was very tasty.

I used this recipe to make a smoked arctic char dip, but made one modification. I used equal parts cream cheese and smoked char. The end result was a creamy, meaty, smoke-flavored, near heavenly dip that has absolutely floored everyone who has tasted it! Here in AK, folks love their salmon dips but this one stands out above the rest. IMO, can be used with salmon, trout and definitely arctic char!

Great recipe but absolutely fantastic with a few modifications. I used equal parts cream cheese and salmon (smoked), added a few cloves of fresh garlic, used half a lemon, and a few shakes of cayenne pepper. Scoop with a nice cracker and finish off with your favorite hot sauce (I recommend Chipotle Tabasco).

This spread is absolutely perfect for bagels on Sunday morning! Very elegant too, I have also used this for finger roll ups with whole wheat tortillas!

Grilled my own salmon. Added 1/4 cup FF plain yogurt to make it a little easier to dip. Subbed dill for the seafood seasoning. Amazing!

Was VERY cream cheesy even though I nearly tripled the salmon. Would have really liked a more salmony recipe.

Made this for a bridal shower and served it in bite-sized cream puffs. My sister, giver of the shower, and my brother-in-law loved it. They would have eaten the whole thing with crackers the night before the shower. They rated it a 12. I made the puffs the morning of the shower. The guests liked it also. I love salmon but did not like this. I do not know if it was because the salmon was smoked. I love fresh salmon. The recipe was so easy that anyone walking into a kitchen for the first time could make this with ease. Also it's quick to make when company pops in. The only changes I made were using the light cream cheese instead of the regular. And, per my sister, added another ounce of salmon.
