STUNNING SALMON "PATE" APPETIZERS (EASY!)



Stunning Salmon

So, you'll need a very thin and long baguette, found at most of your chain supermarkets. I've been using these for years to make cute little appetizer bites. The key is what you put inside of them. Also, what I do to make this a really easy process, is bake them for about 2-5 mins just to get the outside crusty and the inside...

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 long and thin french baguette
FOR SALMON PATE FILLING
1 pkg 8oz cream cheese
1 can(s) 6 oz pink salmon (skinless and boned) drained
1/4 c finely chopped onion ( or 1 tablespoon dried onions)
2 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley
about 1/2 of a lemon, juiced
3 Tbsp ketsup...excuse me here, i had no cocktail sauce or chile sauce in my pantry. it was fine!
1 tsp garlic powder

Steps:

  • 1. heat the baguette just so that the outside is crispy and the inside is soft. About 2-3 mins in a preheated 350 oven. Cut the ends off of the baguette. Cut in half or quarters for easier filling. With a long seraded knife carve out the bread within the crust. (save for other things)Put the bread aside. Make your filling.
  • 2. Mix the Salmon and the cream cheese together. A fork or your hands work best for this. As soon as it is well incorporated, add the next 5 ingredients and blend well with fork. This takes a while. You don't want the mixture too loose, or it will not slice well in the baguette.
  • 3. Mix through mixture with a fork. The Ketsup just adds a little sweetness and makes it PINK, which is how we think of salmon! (Truth be told, I usually use shrimp Cocktail sauce, but had none in the house today. Cocktail sauce gives you the right flavors and a bit of heat with the horseradish!)However, if you don't have cocktail sauce, lemon, ketsup and a bit of cayenne, does the same thing.
  • 4. Stuff the hollowed out baguette pieces, pushing down constantly, and checking the other end to see your progress! I find that a 1/2 tsp measuring spoon is a great tool for this. It's not as hard as it sounds!
  • 5. Wrap the stuffed roles up tightly with plastic wrap and put into the refrigerator for at least two hours. They should cut nicely after that. Even better the next day. Slice into 1/2 inch slices and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right salmon. Fresh, wild-caught salmon is the best choice for this recipe. Avoid using farmed salmon, as it is often lower in quality and may contain more contaminants.
  • Use good-quality cream cheese. Full-fat cream cheese will give the pâté a richer, creamier flavor. Avoid using low-fat or non-fat cream cheese, as it will make the pâté too dry.
  • Don't over-process the salmon. When you are blending or food processing the salmon, be careful not to over-process it. You want the pâté to have a smooth, creamy texture, but you don't want it to be too mushy.
  • Season the pâté to taste. Once you have blended or food processed the salmon, cream cheese, and other ingredients, taste the pâté and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more lemon juice, salt, or pepper.
  • Chill the pâté before serving. Before you serve the pâté, chill it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This will help the flavors to meld and will make the pâté easier to spread.

Conclusion:

Salmon pâté is a delicious and versatile appetizer that can be served in a variety of ways. It can be spread on crackers, bread, or vegetables, or it can be used as a filling for sandwiches or wraps. It is also a great way to use up leftover salmon. If you are looking for a quick and easy appetizer that is sure to impress your guests, salmon pâté is a great choice.
