Ingredients

Ingredients to make salmon egg dip on a marble surface.

Smoked Salmon: Various types of smoked salmon are available, including cold-smoked and hot-smoked. Cold-smoked salmon is typically more delicate and works well in dips. It offers a silky consistency, while hot-smoked salmon provides a firmer texture and a more robust flavor.

Eggs: Hard-boiled eggs provide a creamy, rich texture that enhances the overall dip. You can prepare eggs the traditional way by boiling them in water or make hard-boiled eggs in air fryer. For easy peeling, use eggs that are a few days old, as fresher eggs can be harder to peel.

Expert Tips

  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened before mixing. This ensures a smoother texture and prevents lumps in the dip.
  • Finely chop the smoked salmon, eggs, and dill to create a cohesive dip with a balanced mix of ingredients in each bite. Avoid large chunks that could overpower the dip’s texture.
  • Store the dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To maintain freshness, press a layer of plastic wrap directly on the surface of the dip before sealing the container, which helps prevent it from drying out or developing a skin.
