Salmon Dip

Salmon Dip

Adapted from a recipe posted by Gourmet Canadiana.
I came across this recipe on Instagram and it called for a can of smoked salmon and the use of a food processor. I had a lot of regular canned salmon on hand so I went with that, and used an electric mixer in place of a food processor. The result was an excellent tasting dip! Highly recommended if you like canned salmon and dips. Links to the shortcuts are listed in the Recipe Notes section.
