Paleo Smoked Salmon Spread /Dip

Being on a paleo diet could be not so easy. The biggest challenge for me is giving up dairy , in particular :cheese . I've seen before different seafood dips , available at the grocery store but most of them are not very fresh, contain a lot of preservatives, wheat or starch . So I decided that I can make my own paleo spread.
I only buy Spence & CO., LTD Smoked wild sockeye salmon. Most of the smoked fish contain sugar ( I suspect to enhance flavor and as a preservative ) and nitrates. Spence & CO., LTD  brand other than the fish has 2 more ingredients : salt and hardwood smoke.
You will also need a Paleo legal mayonnaise . It s simple and fast to prepare and great on paleo bread or use as a dip with veggies .


Ingredients :

4 oz smoked wild caught sockeye salmon (approx. 2/3 cups)
1/3 cup mayonnaise
2 Tbsp. coconut cream ( the part that's on top of a can when you open a coconut milk)
1 Tsp. wild capers
5-6 green pitted olives
1/3 cup copped onions
very little lemon juice
pepper to taste.


Chop up salmon and put in  a blender or a food processor . Add mayonnaise, coconut cream and lemon juice . Blend for 1 min or until it becomes a smooth paste. Add the rest of the ingredients and blend for another 2 min or until smooth . Move to a clean jar and refrigerate for an hour before serving. It yields 1 cup approx.
