  • 4 ounces cooked salmon chopped, or 2 cans drained salmon
  • 2 tablespoonns capers drained

Instructions
 

  • Combine the softened butter and cream cheese in a food processor. You can also use a stand or hand mixer; just make sure the herbs and garlic are finely chopped before adding.
  • Add the chopped dill, chives, thyme (remove the stems), and garlic to the processor. Blend until smooth and the herbs are evenly mixed.
  • Season with freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  • Fold in the chopped smoked and cooked salmon, capers, and red onions into the spread.

Notes

Chef Jenn's Tips

  • Using room-temperature butter and cream cheese will ensure a creamy, smooth base.
  • You can totally buy a package of Boursin cheese and use that, but you'll need 2 boxes.
  • Leftover baked or grilled salmon is amazing in this recipe, but you can also use 2 cans of well-drained salmon.
