Salmon offcuts are great for making dips and spreads. Photo / Janna Dixon
Smoked salmon pieces or offcuts are not as perfect as the layered or sliced smoked salmon you buy in packets, but they are good to use in dishes such as fish pies, quiches, soups, savouries or to make a dip or spread.
100gms of smoked salmon pieces, offcuts or diced
smoked salmon slices.
100gms of cream cheese
100gms of sour cream
2 scrapes of lemon zest
Juice of half a lemon
Salt and cracked pepper
1. Put all the ingredients into a food processor and pulse to blend . You're trying to get a mixture that has smoothed the creams together but still has some salmon segments intact.
2. If it is too stiff add a little more lemon juice.
3. As a dip serve with vegetable sticks, rice crackers or grainy toast triangles.
