Ingredients

  • 200 g 7 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 200 g 7 oz cooked salmon, flaked
  • ½ lemon juice only
  • 5 g 0.25 oz fresh dill, finely chopped
  • A pinch of sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  • In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese and lemon juice until smooth and creamy. Add the flaked salmon and gently fold it in, breaking up any larger pieces to achieve a consistent texture. Sprinkle in the chopped dill, sea salt, and a touch of black pepper for seasoning.
  • Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated, creating a light yet rich pâté with a hint of citrus brightness and fresh herbs. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  • Transfer the mixture to a serving dish or small ramekins, smoothing the top with a spatula. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled with crackers, crostini, or fresh vegetable sticks for a refined appetizer or light snack.
