SESAME SALMON SPREAD

Sesame Salmon Spread image

Alaska is known for its salmon, and this is one of our favorite appetizers. I pack the spread and crackers in our picnic lunch when my husband and I head out to harvest wood, which we do several times a year. We look forward to getting wood just to have this special treat!-Sandy Sanford, Anchorage, Alaska
