Remove all bones from the smoked salmon to avoid choking hazards.

Crush the smoked salmon to make it easier to mix into the dip.

Soften 2 lbs of cream cheese by leaving it out overnight or heating it in the microwave for 1 minute, covered with a paper plate to prevent mess.

Mix the softened cream cheese with the crushed smoked salmon until well combined, checking for any remaining bones.

Add 2 diced jalapenos and 1 small bunch of chopped cilantro to the mixture, adjusting to taste.

Add 1.5 cups of salsa gradually, mixing until you reach the desired consistency, ensuring it doesn't become too soupy.

Cover the dip with Saran Wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve.
