Sylvia’s Easy Smoked Salmon Pate-Dip

This is a lovely quick and easy pâté or dip you can prepare in advance or whip up in an instant as part of your festive feasting with family and friends or anytime for that matter.  It has a lovely delicate flavour and smooth texture and presents beautifully simply in a bowl garnished with baby capers and finely chopped chives.  In the photo above I have simply served it in a beautiful handmade Japanese bowl we purchased in Osaka, Japan.  Accompany with sliced baguette, crackers or seaweed rice crackers.  Enjoy!  Sylvia x

METHOD

• Remove any skin or bones from the hot smoked salmon. Flake with a fork or fingers.
• Place the hot smoked salmon, sour cream, tomato paste and ham in a small food processor bowl.
• Process until well combined.
• Add salt, pepper and lemon juice to taste. Pulse until smooth.
• Place the pâté dip into a bowl. Garnish with baby capers and finely chopped chives.
• Serve with crackers or sliced baguette and it’s done!

If you’re at the shack on holidays, you can still prepare this recipe – mash and whisk it all together in a bowl with a fork and it’s done!
