Title: Smoked Salmon Spread –
Post by: CP on September 09, 2023, 10:40:36 AM: I made a small batch this morning, turned out pretty good.

Put the following in the food processor:
4 oz softened cream cheese
1 Tbsp. mayo
Dash of old bay
¼ tsp smoked paprika
Tsp Worcestershire
Dash of garlic powder
Dash of cayenne pepper
A good amount of dill
Maybe 6oz of smoked Coho (I should have measured)

Pulsed that until mixed and creamy.
It didn’t look meaty enough so added a couple more smoked Coho bellies, pulsed some more.

Turned out pretty tasty.

Got a recipe or suggestion? Post it here:

Ours is
8oz cream cheese
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 small red onion chopped/minced
A little lemon juice
Some dill
A little garlic powder
Smoked salmon to liking

Sorry, I cook by taste more than measure.

Same as ours but we add some crumbled blue cheese.

My Japanese friend suggested that I add wasabi, that sounds like it’s worth a try as well.

Then my Thai friend suggested fish sauce and Thai peppers. I’ll probably try the fish sauce, but I’ll take a pass on the Thai peppers.

When you smoke prior to canning, what is your process? Cold smoke?

Post by: CLARKTAR on September 11, 2023, 10:32:57 AM: Cold smoke is the way to go if canning. I used a perforated metal tube, load with wood and light. Barely any heat but good smoke. Once the salmon is a little tacky I call it good then off to the pressure canner. Just finished up a bunch this weekend(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20230911/159d1ee877817dac608369af33e06a48.jpg)

A fresno pepper would go awesome with the fish sauce addition. Not particularly hot, like a sweet mild jalapeno.

Post by: Twispriver on September 11, 2023, 12:17:27 PM: When I can smoked fish I try for maybe 30% done when I put it in the jar, no more than 50% done. Then dry packed in the jar and into the canner. I like using pinks for smoked and canned because they are such a wet fish to begin with and don't really dry out during canning. I've tried the same process with coho and it's always turned out too dry for my liking.
