    Saturday Afternoon Platter - Smoked Salmon Pâté

    Saturday, oh why oh why do you go so quickly? I wake up and before I know it, the sun is starting to set and the day is over.

    When this happens there is nothing else for it but to pour a large glass of wine and get out a plate of nibbles!

    Smoked Salmon Pâté. A delicious and rich pâté, perfect for entertaining.

    Today it is smoked salmon pâté, this is a wonderful rich pate, that makes a small amount of smoked salmon go a long way. You can use the smoked salmon trimmings that supermarkets sell. Or the small slices at the end of a whole side of smoked salmon, you know the ones I mean, they are too small to fill a sandwich and often get eaten as a cooks perk. No? That just me? 😉

    The capers and lemon juice cut through the cheese and salmon mixture, but if you really aren't a fan of capers you can leave them out. I like to serve this with melba toast (which I love!) but it is also delish spread onto bagels or chunks of baguette. Stew ate it spooned into lettuce leaf cups as he is still avoiding all carbs! Either way it is super simple to whip up.

        So happy you loved it. It is an oldie on my site (probably in need of new photos) but a recipe I love so much!

      The instructions say to add horseradish, which isn’t in the list of ingredients. How much horseradish?

        Hi Sye,

        Not sure why that isn't showing in the ingredients! I've been in and clicked update to see if that fixes it.
        You will need 1 teaspoon of prepared horseradish.

        Hope that helps

      Hi Claire! Made this AGAIN today and have to hide it in the fridge or Gary will eat it all! I love capers but find so few recipes that use them. Thank you for sharing this wonderful pate!

        Oh Dorothy, thank you 🙂 That has made my morning!

        I love capers, I will make sure to share a few more recipes with them. We caper loves have to stick together.

        p.s my chicken with tomato and olive dressing pays homage to my love of capers. The photo isn't great as it was back when I was using my phone to take photos. But the recipe is yum! (P.s I make it with thighs a lot of the time!)

        Salmon is a bit of a staple in our house, not that I complain as it is a great way to get the boys eating fish 🙂
        Hope you love this!
