These Smoked Salmon and Goat Cheese Stuffed Mushrooms should definitely be served at your next party!
I decided yesterday that the internet needs another stuffed mushroom recipe. I'm starting a one-woman campaign to bring back the stuffed mushroom craze. Why?
They're healthy finger food and they're fun to eat!
❤️ Why this recipe works
- First and foremost: they're delicious!
- Secondly, they have a convenient little cavity for holding all that cheesy goodness. When you're like me and you're trying to avoid gluten in your diet, you're automatically denied those delicious little canapés that sit on top of a cracker or a thin crispy crostini.
- And third, smoked salmon is always a popular appetizer! People seem to love it any way they can get it! This Smoked Salmon Whipped Feta Dip is always devoured when I make it!
🛒 Ingredients
Smoked salmon is like gold to me, and I like to stretch it to make it last. This smoked salmon stuffed mushroom recipe uses just a tad, but it paks a lot of flavour into one little mushroom cap.
With creamy goat cheese spiked with a little lemon, onion, and dill and a bit of heat from dried red pepper flakes, these are tasty little morsels. They make perfect appetizers or game-day snacks. Add a little finely grated Parmesan on top, or omit it to keep this stuffed mushroom recipe dairy-free.
But don't leave out the two secret ingredients that put these stuffed mushrooms over the top: smoked sea salt and lemon-infused olive oil. Those two pair up to become the crowning glory on top of all that goat cheese stuffed mushroom heaven.
🔪 Instructions
- Remove the mushroom stems and wipe the mushroom caps.
- In a small bowl, thoroughly combine softened cheese, mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, smoked salmon, lemon zest, chives (or green onion) red pepper flakes, and dill.
- Place the mushroom caps on a baking sheet, drizzle with a little olive oil and bake for 25 - 30 minutes.
- Remove from the oven, stuff with 1 tablespoon of the goat cheese and salmon mixture. Return the baking sheet to the oven for 6 - 8 minutes until filling is hot and golden.
- Remove from the oven. Garnish with a drizzle of lemon-infused olive oil and a pinch of sea salt.
Frequently Asked Questions
It depends. If you are using commercially grown mushrooms, they usually only need a quick wipe with a soft cloth or piece of paper towel. If you soak them in water and don't dry them thoroughly, they may become soggy and slimy when you cook them.
If you are using mushrooms you have foraged, you should wash them thoroughly to remove soil and forest debris, then dry them well.

These look amazing. Are they gluten free?

Hi Bonnie, Yes, these stuffed mushrooms are gluten-free. 99% of my recipes are gluten-free and I always make sure to mention if they're not. Thanks for your question. Hope you love these, too!

I’m giving this 5 stars because of stellar delicious ness. I only had 6 Bella mushrooms so I baked the other half in a ramekin. I also didn’t measure so probs more salmon, parmesan and mayo than in the recipe. We thought the stuffed mushrooms were just okay but the hot dip with tortilla chips or triscuits is to die for!!!!

We made these on the weekend......delicious! We used some canned smoked salmon that Bill did last summer and it worked well.
Thank you for all of your great recipes. I make one of your chicken dishes at least once a week.
