The Pacific Northwest has an abundance of salmon, and this easy game day spread goes a little beyond chips and salsa or hummus. It is rich and full of flavor — not to mention filling — and goes great with vegetables, crackers, or grilled pita strips. This can be made a day or two in advance and then freshened up with a squeeze of lemon before serving. We once cooked our own salmon on cedar planks before a game and then flaked the fish into the dip for a really pronounced smoky flavor.
