Ingredients
- 8 pounds cream cheese. It must be softened or mellowed at room temperature (conventionally taken as about 20 °C (68 °F).
- one large filet of shredded salmon (2 cups)
- Capers (2 tablespoons)
To taste better:
- Kosher salt (1 ½ tablespoon), or
- Pepper powder of cayenne (2 tablespoons), or
- Black pepper (2 tablespoons). Better if you get this freshly ground. Or,
- Olive oil (2 tablespoons). The extra virgin grade is highly preferable.
Instructions
Remember, it’s very imperative you do everything accurately to make sure your Famous Dave’s Salmon Spread Recipe tastes perfect. For instance, if you don’t coat the salmon filet properly using extra virgin oil, you won’t get the original texture. So do as the following guidelines:
- Firstly, coat the salmon filet using 1 ½ tablespoon kosher salt, 2 tablespoons freshly ground black pepper, and 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil carefully. Make sure you dress the whole salmon using the mixture; no spot can be left untouched.
- After that, oil or grease your baking pan using the other 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive.
- When the pam is fully greased, put the salmon filet in it.
- Now place the pan inside your oven, and cook it for around 30-35 minutes at 350-degree F temperature (176.66-degree Celsius).
- The previous step gives you a head start. So while the filet is in the oven, take a standard size bowl and put 8 pounds of cream cheese in it.
- Now take a fork to mash the cream. Mash it until it gets enough soft like the moist soft dough so that you can spread it over the filet.
- Then take the pan out of the oven. Keep the salmon filet in the cooling wire rack for at least 10 minutes.
- Take a butter knife to spread the cream cheese over the filet.
- Then drizzle 2 tablespoon capers on both sides of the salmon filet finely.
- At last, depending upon your preference, add up cayenne pepper to the filet. Usually, adding 2 tablespoons of cayenne pepper suffice for 2 cups shredded salmon.
Recipe Notes
Usually, we are used to serving this recipe with veggies, such as jicama sticks, celery, cucumber rounds, carrot sticks, bell pepper strips, etc.
However, there is also a tradition of taking salmon spread along with liquid smoke. You can consider this option as well. But, if you are planning to try this, make sure you are already used to liquid smoke. Otherwise, it may taste a bit weird to you. I also try another technique occasionally to bring a scoop texture. I mix up capers and cream cheese and then serve it with a scoop of my choice. If you want the salmon to taste spicy, consider adding extra cayenne pepper.
