smoked salmon / trout pate

[minnowfisher]

I have tried this a few times, friends love it, so i thought i would pass it on.

butter for frying
300gr smoked salmon or trout
300gr Philadelphia soft cheese
2 garlic cloves crushed
Juice of 1/2 lemon
freshly ground black pepper

Melt butter in a frying pan and cook the fish gently for 10 minutes until the fish is soft. Remove from the pan, allow to cool slightly, then remove skin and any bones.

Put everthing in to a blender and blend until smooth, put into dishes, allow to cool, then put into fridge to set, great on toast, bagels or as a starter.
Enjoy

JFG;

Thanks. I just smoked 5 pounds of rainbow trout. I was recently searching for a new recipe to  make either smoked trout pate or spread.

If you smoke some trout, try spreading a little of the pate on slices of Granny Smith apples.

Habs,
sorry I didn't reply sooner, I was off fishing for a few days, interesting tip you gave, must give it a try, must admit I would never have thought to put them together, cheers.
