Nope I did not have this in San Francisco and no I was not inspired while visiting San Francisco, I just liked the name better than Francis' Cream Cheese Spread. Plus I have been called San Francisco and Paris enough times that I should be able to use those monikers when naming my recipes. (Actually I have had so many nicknames over the years I could probably come up with a whole month of recipes named after myself.) I was looking to make Zo and I a quick dinner snack while we watched a movie together and this is what I came up with. I just tossed together a lot of things we liked and we both ended up really enjoying it. The next morning we both had it for breakfast. I had mine heated on a bagel and it was especially yummy. We had this spread on croissant rolls but it is also good with crackers, bagels, toast and just about everything else I had it on.

Ingredients:
4 oz Alderwood Smoked Atlantic Salmon (crumbled)
8 oz cream cheese (softened, we used 1/3 less fat variety)
1 large jalapeno (seeded, veined and diced)
1 green onion (diced)
8 salami slices (chopped)
1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese (shredded)
2 cloves garlic (optional, minced)

Mix all ingredients well by hand, place in a seal able container, cover and chill in refrigerator till ready to use. Serve cold or warm.
