  • Garnish with the remaining dill, chives, and flakey sea salt.

Tips & Notes

  • We used cold smoked salmon (the one that still looks raw) in this recipe. Any smoked salmon will work.
  • If you want to use a wood cutting board for this recipe, we recommend placing a piece of parchment paper down before spreading the cream cheese.
