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.
