Smoked Salmon Pâté, easy to make luxurious snack

© Little Scandinavian
With some smoked salmon from the Hansen & Lydersen smokehouse left in the fridge I was tempted to experiment with recipe ideas for a perfect starter. With the rich and tasty smoked salmon as the main ingredient it was all done in a few minutes. Guess what’s on the menu when we have dinner guests tonight!?

Ingredients
250g Smoked salmon
100g Mascarpone
White pepper
Lemon
Chives

Method
1. Blend the smoked salmon and mascarpone together in a food processor or blender, blend for longer if you like a smoother pâté
2. Add a tablespoon of freshly chopped chives and a pinch of white pepper

3. Finally add the lemon juice, be careful so the acidity is not overpowering the pâté
4. Serve a rougher blend of this smoked salmon pâté as a starter with salad and oatcakes or blend a bit longer for luxurious canapés served on a piece of toasted rye bread or blinis.
