    this sounds good but what could you replace the
    horseradish with not really a big fan on horseradish.

    You could leave the horseradish out if you like since it isn’t a large
    proportion of the recipe or you could try substituting liquid smoke (check it
    out on a small amount first to see if you like it). I use the liquid smoke in
    my smoked salmon dip recipe.

    Fresh dill always goes well with salmon.
    Capers would work.
    Mixed mediterranean herbs (basil, oregano, rosemary, marjoram) I
    think would be good, also.
    I often use dijon mustard in sauces for salmon but I don’t think it
    would work well with cream cheese.
