Default Vodka Salmon Spread

Vodka Salmon Spread

Plain vodka can be substituted for the pepper flavored vodka, but season generously with cracked pepper. Serve on crostini with freshly cracked pepper.

Cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days.

1/2 pound smoked salmon
1 1/2 cups nonfat cottage cheese
3 tablespoons pepper flavored vodka
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon prepared horseradish

Cut half of the salmon into chunks. Dice the remaining salmon. Place cottage cheese in a fine-mesh sieve and press on it to remove excess moisture. Transfer the cottage cheese to a food processor. Add the salmon chunks, vodka, lemon juice, mustard and horseradish. Process until smooth. Transfer the mixture to bowl and fold in the diced salmon. Refrigerate until chilled

WOW! - sounds really interesting. I've got some salmon in a fridge, it's worth trying.

Default Welcome. I think you will like it here. Mama is a great

leader, and she has some wonderful folks here. I enjoy sharing recipes here.

Unless you are a person who enjoys raw fish, I would advise you not to use raw salmon. The citrus juice and vodka would lend some cooking to the salmon but not a lot. If you have fresh salmon and want to use it, then I would advise you to at least cook it in the microwave for a bit, covered. Then add it to the recipe.

Others here (i.e., Chubbs who spent some time in Alaska and is very experienced with cooking salmon) may have different advice for you

If one doesn't enjoy smoked salmon- I would think fresh would do well. But as MsMai suggests, I would likely use cooked, fresh salmon.
