Baked Salmon Salad Spread

Baked Salmon Salad is so versatile you can use it as an appetizer spread with crackers or you can use it as a spread for sandwiches. It's just plain delicious no matter how you serve it!

What I love most about this Baked Salmon Salad Spread is that the flavor isn't too fishy tasting, which for me can sometimes be a turnoff.

The mild flavor of this salmon salad spread is balanced nicely with bright, fresh lemon zest, dried dill weed, and a touch of sweet pickle relish.
