Method

  1. If you aren't using smoked salmon trimmings then chop the salmon into small pieces. Tip the soft cheese, crème fraîche (if using) and lemon juice into a food processor, season generously with black pepper and blitz to your liking. Add the smoked salmon and pulse a few times if you want the paté chunky or blitz some more if you want the paté smooth and pink.
  2. Stir the herbs into the paté and spoon into a large or four smaller bowls and serve with warm toast as a starter or with breadsticks as a dip.

    Making this as one of 3 canapes for a progressive (we are going from house to house for each course) dinner. I have tasted it, and it is delicious. Making my own breadsticks in the breadmachine. I love the fact that it is quick!

    Using SMOKED KIPPERS instead of smoked salmon is a delicious option - gives a heartier flavour

    I made this dish last night for the first time, to share with friends. It went down very well. It is easy to make, I will make it again.

    I just used dried chives instead of fresh herbs, and had no creme fraiche, but was completely amazed at this delicious recipe! I was worried it would be too cheesy from the cream cheese, but it blended perfectly with the smoked salmon. I couldn't resist having this for my lunches at work for several weeks!
