Smoked Salmon Pâté
This creamy smoked salmon pâté is a rich and savory spread that comes together in minutes. Blending smoked salmon with mascarpone, fresh dill, and bright lemon juice creates a smooth, luxurious texture. It works beautifully as a refreshing topping for morning bagels or crisp toast. You can also spread it on thick sourdough and broil it until bubbly to serve alongside a hearty winter soup.
Ingredients
- 8 ounces smoked salmon
- 8 ounces mascarpone or cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh dill
- 1 tablespoon capers, for garnish
Instructions
- 1Gather the zest and juice of half a lemon, along with a dash of white pepper, to prepare for blending.
- 2Combine the smoked salmon, mascarpone or cream cheese, fresh dill, lemon juice, and white pepper in a food processor. Pulse the ingredients until the mixture becomes completely smooth and well incorporated.
- 3Transfer the blended spread into a serving bowl and cover it tightly with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to let the flavors meld, then top with capers and the reserved lemon zest just before serving.
Notes
- Spread on a thick slice of sourdough and broil for two minutes or until bubbly for a warm, comforting side to hearty soups.
