A couple of weeks ago, the food section in one of my local newspapers did a feature on recipes for in the event that we have a rolling blackout.

I'm sure that most of you know of what we are going through with the electricity "crisis" in CA, but I will spare you my opinion and share a great, easy recipe since so many of you are salmon lovers. This is great, a real keeper! I used refrigerated smoked salmon but recently bought a can of it at Trader Joe's for when I make it again. Enjoy!

Dilled Salmon Spread

1 (6 oz.) can salmon (without skin or bones), drained
6 oz. room temperature cream cheese (I used fat free)
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon prepared horseradish (I love horseradish so I used 2)
4 ounces minced smoked salmon
1 1/2 tablespoons minced fresh dill or 1 1/2 teaspoons dried
Optional: seasoned salt to taste
For serving: crackers, thinly sliced baguette, bagel chips

I think that it would be great on mini bagels with purple onions and tomato slices for a brunch or luncheon.

Notes: if using "energy" a food processor fitted with the metal blade can be used to combine salmon, cream cheese, lemon juice and horseradish.

In medium bowl, flake salmon with fork. Add cream cheese, lemon juice and horseradish. Smash with fork and stire with spoon until combined. Stir in smoked salmon and dill; stir to blend. Taste and add seasoned salt, if desired. Serve with crackers, thin bread slices or bagel chips

Wendy,

Thanks so much for sharing your recipe! http://www.cookinglight.com/bbs/smile.gif We are real salmon lovers here, so I will definately try it. Maybe for July 4th... Haven't had any rolling blackouts up here in "Northern", Northern California, (we have hydroelectric power) but with the hot summer coming it is a real possibility.
