Equipment

  • food processor (optional)
  • sharp knife

Ingredients

  • 1 bunch fresh dill
  • cup red onion (diced)
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • ½ tsp ground pepper (where to buy organic pepper)
  • 10 to 12 oz wild salmon
  • cups homemade mayo

Instructions

  • Several hours before dinner, cook fillets at 350° F for 10 – 20 minutes depending on thickness. It’s important not to overcook the fillets or the spread will be dry. If they do get a little tough, just add more mayo to the mix.
  • Place cooked fillets in fridge.

To make with a food processor:

  • When the salmon fillets are cool, peel the skin off, break them up and drop them into your food processor.
  • Add the dill, onion, lemon juice, pepper and 3/4 of the mayo.

  • Blend until creamy and then taste. Make adjustments as needed (more mayo, lemon juice, etc.)

To make without a food processor:

  • When the salmon fillets are cool, peel the skin off, break them up and drop them into a bowl. Finely mince the dill and onion and add.
  • Add lemon juice, pepper, and 3/4 of the mayo and stir until well-blended.
  • Taste and make adjustments as needed (more mayo, lemon juice, etc.)

Notes

We serve with Whole Foods' Cracked-Pepper Water Crackers or homemade crackers, but just about anything will work. Enjoy!
