This smoked salmon dip is the perfect appetizer for your next party. It’s quick and easy to throw together and doesn’t require any fancy equipment. Serve with your favorite paleo crackers and veggies for a simple and delicious appetizer or afternoon snack!
For the salmon, I like to use a nice smoked sockeye salmon for this recipe. The color and flavor are really superior here. And while some smoked salmon dips call for the salmon to be minced or even blended up with the cream base, I like it in bigger pieces. I just like that texture better. Feel free to mince or blend away though if that is the texture you prefer!
One last note, this recipe calls for coconut cream. If you can’t find cans of coconut cream (make sure it has a very smooth texture), grab a can of full fat coconut milk and place it in the refrigerator overnight. Make sure not to invert it or shake it before refrigerating. The coconut milk will separate under refrigeration. The coconut cream should rise to the top and the coconut water will be underneath. When ready to use, flip the can upside down and pour off the coconut water. Then scoop out the coconut cream that’s left in the can. Some brands work better than others for this. I like Native Forest brand, but Thai Kitchen also works well.

The recipe states “prepared horseradish”. Does that mean horseradish sauce?
Thank you.
Hi, Deanna! Prepared horseradish is just the jar at the store that says horseradish. The ingredients should be just horseradish, vinegar, and salt. Horseradish sauce is more of a sauce that includes eggs, oils, and other things. I hope you enjoy the recipe!
HI, a neighbor just gave me a couple pounds of smoked Kingfish. Do you think this recipe would work well with it in place of the salmon? I wasn’t sure about the dill since that seems to go more with salmon. I haven’t had smoked fish dip in sooo long because of the dairy so I’m super excited to try it!
Hi Amber! Ooo yum! I think it would be great in this recipe, even with the dill. I hope it turns out well for you! I’d love to hear how it turns out 🙂
I used a little less horseradish. Amazing!!! Finally a recipe without cream cheese.
Hi, Kori! So glad you liked the recipe! 🙂
