Salmon pate

Here’s a delicious salmon pâté recipe that's perfect for spreading on crackers or bread:

Ingredients:

  • 1 can (about 200g) salmon, drained (or 200g cooked salmon)

  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill (or 1 teaspoon dried dill)
  • 1 small shallot or onion, finely chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: a splash of Worcestershire sauce for extra flavor

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Ingredients:

    • If using cooked salmon, make sure it’s cooled and flaked. If using canned salmon, drain it well.

  5. Chill:

    • Transfer the pâté to a serving dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
