Smoked Salmon Artichoke Spinach Dip

Instructions

1. 01

   Stabilize your grill or smoker to 350°F and set up for indirect smoking. Place the wood chunk in the hottest portion of the coal pile. Wait until you see combustion, then place your salmon fillet on the grill grate and smoke for 15 minutes, or until you reach a flakey texture around an internaltemp of 130°F. Remove from the grill and reserve for folding into the mixture last.

2. 02

   In a large bowl, combine all ingredients except the crudites and salmon. Mix well until fully incorporated. Next, gently crumble medium sized chunks of the smoked salmon into the mixture. Fold in lightly as to not break up the fish too much.
