Recipe for Low-Carb Smoked Salmon Pâté
Low-Carb, Keto. Free From Gluten, Grains, Added Sugar & Artificial Sweeteners.
Ingredients
-
- 240g/8.5 ounces/just over 1 cup of smoked salmon (buying cheaper off-cuts/trimmings is great for this recipe)
- 1 small bunch (around 20g or 2/3 ounce) dill weed (or parsley)
- 320g/11 + 1/3 ounces/1 + 1/3 cups of cream cheese (full-fat if you’re making this keto)
- Juice of one lemon
- Ground black pepper to taste (optional)
Directions
- If you’ve bought your smoked salmon in small trimmings, then you’re good to go. If not, then chop it roughly into smallish pieces – I use kitchen scissors for this.
- Wash, and then roughly chop, the dill herb fronds. I use kitchen scissors for this too! It doesn’t matter if you include some of the thinner/softer stalks. Reserve a few small pretty fronds for garnishing the Low-Carb Smoked Salmon Pâté if you wish.
- Put all ingredients – except the reserved dill for garnish – in a food processor, adding black pepper to taste.
- Process the ingredients for as long as necessary to form a pâté of a consistency that’s to your liking. A few pulses will be enough for a chunky pâté. But I prefer a smoother pâté, so I process for a few seconds, scrape the pâté down with a spatula, and then repeat once or twice more.
- The Low-Carb Smoked Salmon Pâté is now ready to serve – or you can refrigerate it until needed. It’s good served as an appetiser/starter in individual ramekin dishes, simply garnished with a thin slice of lemon and/or a piece of reserved dill. Or the whole recipe can be served in one bigger bowl as a dip. The pâté goes great with salad vegetables cut into crudités, or with your favourite low-carb cracker/bread recipe. Here is a low-carb cracker recipe – and here’s a low-carb bread recipe.
- Low-Carb Smoked Salmon Pâté keeps well in the refrigerator for a couple of days – you may just need to stir it again if the lemon juice has separated.
