Olive Wood Smoked Salmon Dip

November 10, 2025

Olive Wood Smoked Salmon Dip

Creamy, cool, and shot through with smoke, this salmon dip is a crowd-pleaser that comes together in a food processor. The secret is roasting the salmon in a smoked olive oil first, so every scoop tastes like it came off the grill.

Ingredient Spotlight. Our Smoked Olive Wood Olive Oil seasons the salmon with a deep, mellow campfire smokiness that carries all the way through the creamy base, no smoker required.

Ingredients

  • 4-6 oz salmon (cooked)
  • 3T olive wood smoked olive oil
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 cup cream cheese softened
  • 2T shallots
  • 2T chives
  • ¼ cup sourcream
  • 1T Dill fresh or 1 tsp dry
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • 2T lemon juice
  • crackers for dipping

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees
  2. Season salmon with 1 tablespoon of olivewood smoked olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  3. Cook in oven for 5-8 min until desired doneness. Set aside in refrigerator to cool.
  4. Place cream cheese, mayonnaise, and sourcream into a food processor and blend until combined.
  5. Add remaining ingredients including the salmon and pulse until combined.
  6. Serve with crackers or bagel chips!

Chef's Notes

  • Let the salmon cool fully before it goes into the processor so the dip stays thick and creamy rather than loosening from residual heat.
  • Pulse just until combined; leaving a little texture keeps it feeling like a dip rather than a spread.

Make It Yours

  • A finishing drizzle of the smoked olive oil over the top, plus extra chives, dresses it up for a party board.
  • Fold in a spoonful of our Sicilian Lemon White Balsamic for a brighter, tangier dip.

Allergens: contains fish, dairy, eggs (mayonnaise), and gluten (from crackers).
