SOO this is something I first had in Manitou Springs, Colorado on a day trip with my papa to Pikes Peak. It was the most amazing thing I had ever had at the time, and prob not the healthiest version. I came back home searching for a smoked salmon sandwich everywhere, sadly it was not a thing here in Texas. So I took it upon myself to create my own and dang is it addicting!
I love when my papa smokes the salmon at home but that isn't always an option since I don't live that close, but if you have a smoker, smoke on! I tend to buy my smoked salmon from CostCo or just bake a few fillets with a touch liquid smoke to get the flavoring. I personally hate mayonnaise and use greek yogurt as my sub when it comes to anything needing mayo-like texture. One thing that I am a big fan of is fresh herbs, I've potted basil and mint and managed to keep them alive (woohoo). For this spread, dill weed is the must have along with a little some citrus from a lemon wedge. Those are the basic ingredients for this SSS (short,sweet,simple) family favorite.
Flake your salmon into a bowl, add 1 tbs of greek yogurt, 1tsp of dill weed, 1 tsp of lemon juice for every fillet you cooked. One variation of this is an additional ingredient, capers, only if you are not purchasing smoked salmon and baking it instead. It will add additional flavor for the last of salt that the smoked salmon would have. Combine all ingredients in a bowl and throw this in the fridge and chill for a few hours. Once chilled, spread over a baguette or crostini and enjoy! Pair this with a lovely soup and you have the perfect meal.
Ingredients: Smoked salmon or fillet of salmon, greek yogurt, fresh dill weed, lemon juice. (liquid smoke if baking salmon fillets)
