Serves 6<br />

Potted<br />

smoked salmon<br />

This is the perfect starter for the lunch on the big day –<br />

the recipe will easily double up if you are feeding a crowd at Christmas!<br />

Ingredients<br />

275g honey roast salmon flakes<br />

250g smoked salmon slices, chopped<br />

100g unsalted butter, softened<br />

125g full-fat soft cheese<br />

2 tsp creamed horseradish<br />

1 tbsp lemon juice<br />

Salt and freshly ground black pepper<br />

Fresh dill sprigs and green<br />

peppercorns, to garnish<br />

Slices of toasted brown or granary<br />

bread, to serve<br />

Method<br />

1 Reserve about 25g of the salmon flakes for garnish (cover and chill in<br />

the fridge until required).<br />

2 Place the rest of the salmon flakes in a food processor with the smoked<br />

salmon, butter, soft cheese, horseradish and lemon juice. Process until<br />

smooth and creamy. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black<br />

pepper and process for a further few seconds.<br />

3 Divide the mixture between 6 small ramekin dishes and level the<br />

surface. Cover and chill in the fridge until required. Garnish with the<br />

rest of the salmon flakes, dill sprigs and green peppercorns. Serve with<br />

toasted brown or granary bread.<br />

TIP: Most supermarkets sell packs of ready-flaked honey roast salmon but if unavailable just buy ready-cooked smoked salmon<br />

fillets and roughly flake the fish, discarding any skin and fine bones.
