Smoked Salmon Spread
This smoked salmon spread recipe is absolutely delicious.
It need not be expensive to make.
You can get smoked salmon trimmings from most suppliers at the fraction of the price that you would pay for smoked salmon slices.
I frequently use the trimmings to make quiches, fish cakes or pate - if you're going to chop it into small pieces anyway, there's no point in spending money on a side of salmon or a pack of whole slices.
Regarding the cream cheese, in England the name that springs to mind is 'Philadelphia' and it's quite expensive - I have used the cheaper supermarket own brand - once again, a fraction of the cost - and it tastes no different - you might as well save the money.
Anyway - this is so easy to make.
You will need a food processor or patience to chop the salmon and mix.
Smoked Salmon Pate
100g (4 oz) smoked salmon
200g (7 oz) pack of cream cheese
juice of 1/2 lemon
few twists of black pepper
Chop the salmon into small pieces.
Put the salmon, cream cheese, lemon juice and pepper into a food processor.
Give the mixture a few bursts of the blades - you may need to stop and scrape the mixture back into the bowl.
When the ingredients are combined, taste and season with more pepper and lemon if necessary.
Turn out into a bowl and chill in the fridge for an hour or so.
Serve with toast quarters and butter garnished with some salad and lemon wedges or use to fill sandwiches.
