Easy Salmon Spread

Whenever there is a deal on for smoked salmon fingers at the grocery store, I take advantage just so I can have one thing: this salmon spread. It is amazingly flavorful and if you're like me, you'll be sneaking to the fridge every hour just to try a spoonful. All in the name of taste-testing, of course. Best of all, it's easy, it keeps for 4-5 days (if you can resist it that long), and it's relatively low-cal if you use lite cream cheese!

Ingredients:
  • 1 smoked salmon finger (around 120 g)
  • 3 green onions
  • 4 tablespoons cream cheese
  • salt/pepper to taste (plus any other spices you might want!)
Directions:
  1. In a small bowl, break up the salmon finger with a spoon (make sure there aren't any tiny bones!). Chop the green onions and add them to the bowl. Add the cream cheese and mix it in until everything is evenly coated. Add the seasonings, mix, then cover with plastic wrap and chill for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors soak into each other. 
  2. Serve it however you like: on a slice of sourdough, on top of plain noodles, stuffed into chicken... anything!
Enjoy!

Tip: If you want to use it as a dip, you can add a teeny bit of mayo or plan yogurt to thin it out, bake it at 350 F for 20 minutes and voila!
