ingredients
- 170.09 g packaged smoked salmon
- 236.59 ml sour cream (light is ok)
- 226.79 g cream cheese, softened
- 14.79 ml drained capers
- 118.29 ml freshly grated good parmesan cheese
- 2.46 ml cavender's seasoning
- 236.59 ml roughly chopped mushroom
- 59.14 ml chopped sweet onion
- 29.57 ml tawny port
- 14.79 ml olive oil or 14.79 ml butter
directions
- Heat oil in saute pan, then add butter to melt. Saute onions and mushrooms until nearly all liquid has evaporated. Away from heat, add port. Return to medium high heat and continue sauteing until liquid has nearly evaported. Set aside.
- In large bowl, break up smoked salmon into small uniform pieces. Mix together sour cream & cream cheese until smooth, then add to salmon. Add remaining ingredients along with onion-mushroom mixture, blend well.
- Spread mixture into lightly oiled baking dish (I use a 10" round ceramic bake & serve) and bake at 375 degrees for approximately 25-30 minutes, until bubbly and light golden in color.
- I serve this warm or at room temperature with thin baguette slices which have been spread lightly with garlic-infused olive oil then toasted & sprinkled with just a bit of kosher salt!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
In my backyard with my darling fur-grandchild, Lola who now lives in Denver with little "sister" Emmie and my daughter and son-in law. I live in Tulsa Oklahoma and I own a real estate management company. I love obviously, cooking! I also love to entertain, gardening, and hanging out on my deck with friends & a good glass of wine! My job consists of lots of problem solving & being creative and I think it relates well to the process of entertaining as well. What to cook, how to prepare, what's the most interesting presentation, etc??? My sister-in-law, another RecipeZaar chef is the consummate hostess & we have cooked many a fine dinner together! I love to watch Food Network & think Barefoot Contessa is great! Along with Giada De Laurentis & Paula Deen!
