  • Author: Paul Hollywood

This delightful smoked salmon pâté is a luxurious blend of cream cheese, crème fraîche, and smoked salmon, brightened with zesty lemon and tangy horseradish. The creamy texture of the pâté is complemented by fresh dill, creating a flavorful spread that pairs perfectly with sliced bread and caper berries for a sophisticated appetizer or snack.

Ingredients

  • 100g/3½oz cream cheese
  • 100g/3½oz crème fraîche
  • 200g/7oz smoked salmon
  • 1 lemon
  • ½ lemon
  • 1 tbsp creamed horseradish
  • 2 tbsp finely chopped, fresh dill
  • caper berries, to serve

Instructions

  • To begin, place all the ingredients except the capers in a food processor. Pulse until a pâté forms which still has some texture to it and is not a purée.
  • Taste to check the seasoning as smoked salmon can vary greatly in its saltiness. It may also need more lemon juice.
  • Serve with sliced bread, such as stout soda bread, and large caper berries.
