JACI’S SALMON PARTY SPREAD--SO EASY & SO GOOD!

Jaci is a petite, lovely, well-dressed lady who is tireless in doing volunteer work for our church. Her husband and son are outdoor enthusiast so she uses their salmon that they smoke from Alaska or the Great Lakes instead of canned salmon. I have made this spread with smoked Coho salmon from the Great Lakes and with smoked Alaskan salmon. It was sublime. I do not like too much liquid smoke in anything so I would use very little if using canned salmon. I would prefer red salmon rather than pink.

So easy & so good!!!  Enjoy!!!
