Smoked Salmon Pate


This is an excellent pate, the recipe is easy to double or halve and is very quick to make! It is rich but over the years that i have made this, i already cut back on the amount of butter from the original recipe!

Steps


Melt the butter in a small saucepan , let it cool slightly.
Place the salmon in your food processor.
With the machine running add the butter until you have a smooth pate.
Remove the mix from the food processor bowl and add the lemon juice , cream and check the seasoning.
Line a dish with plastic wrap and spoon in the pate , leave in the fridge until needed but at least for 30 to 40 minutes.
Remove from the fridge 30 minutes before serving.
Turn the pate out on to a dish , remove the plastic wrap , garnish with a ring of cucumber slices around the pate.
Serve with homemade melba toast#24802 or#40247.
