Smoked Salmon Pâté

Brian and I have made this several times when we have had the family for holiday dinners. Everyone really likes it. We smoke the salmon in the summer and freeze it so we have it for the holidays. Recipe for Smoked Salmon.

I do not like things that taste very fishy. The lemon juice helps with this, but you could also add more cream cheese to cut back on the salmon flavor.

4 oz smoked salmon
4 oz cream cheese
1 tablespoon finely chopped red onion
pinch fresh parsley, chopped
1/2 teaspoon finely chopped garlic
1 teaspoon lemon juice

Finely chop the salmon in a food processor. Transfer to a mixing bowl. Add the rest of the ingredients and beat in with a hand mixer. [Taste and adjust seasonings, if needed. Perhaps a little more lemon juice, or onion, etc.] . Serve with crackers.
