Ingredients
1 can (16 ounces) canned salmon
1 cup fat-free plain yogurt
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon prepared horseradish
1 tablespoon dried dill weed
4 green onions, chopped
Fresh parsley for garnish
Directions
Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and warm water before preparing the spread.
Open the can of salmon and carefully drain off the liquid. Pour the salmon into a medium bowl and use a fork to break it into small, flaked pieces, removing any large bones if present.
Add the fat-free yogurt, lemon juice, horseradish, dried dill weed, and chopped green onions to the flaked salmon.
Stir all ingredients together until well combined and spreadable. Taste and adjust seasonings as desired.
Transfer the salmon spread to a serving bowl or container. Garnish the top with fresh chopped parsley.
Serve immediately on bread slices, crackers, or rice cakes. Keep any leftover spread refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Comments
Salmon and yogurt are readily available at all Charlotte chains, and at seven servings this spread costs roughly $2 to $2.50 per serving depending on salmon quality, which is reasonable for a protein-forward appetizer. The ten-minute timer is honest if using canned salmon, though fresh salmon requires three extra minutes of minimal prep, and horseradish root (not the bottled sauce) can be hard to source locally—Food Lion and Harris Teeter sometimes stock it in the produce section, but Walmart is more reliable. This is a same-night dish that does not reheat well once mixed, so it works best for entertaining or as an immediate spread rather than planned leftovers for a weeknight.
