I wanted a lighter pate so instead of full fat cream cheese, i made this with light cream cheese and creme fraiche. Mixed in salmon trimmings, lovely oniony chives, tangy lemon juice and lots of freshly ground black pepper. I’ve snacked on this smoked salmon pate with crackers in between meals this week and had it as light lunch as well. I simply cannot get enough of this pate.
