Time 2h

Yield 10 - 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium tomato finely chopped
Coarse salt to taste
1/2 pound smoked salmon (not too salty)
1/2 pound fresh salmon, skinned and boned
2 eggs
White pepper, freshly ground
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
2 tablespoons diced cured ham, cut from a 1/4-inch-thick slice
Unsalted butter
Bread crumbs
A 1/2 pound avocado, halved lengthwise, peeled and pitted

Steps:

  • To make a simple tomato sauce, heat the oil in a small skillet. Add the tomato and salt and cook over low heat for two to three minutes, until the tomato is softened. Strain, pressing with the back of a wooden spoon to extract as much liquid as possible. Reserve four tablespoons.
  • Put the smoked and fresh salmon in the bowl of a processor or blender and beat until smooth. Beat in the eggs, reserved tomato sauce and pepper. With the motor running, pour in the cream gradually. With an on-off motion, blend in the ham. Taste for salt.
  • Butter a 9 1/4-by-5 1/4-by-2 3/4-inch loaf pan generously, then dust with bread crumbs. Pour half of the salmon mixture into the pan. Arrange the avocado halves cut side down (if the halves seem to protrude too far for the rest of the salmon to cover them, trim the cut side) and cover with the rest of the salmon.
  • Cover the pan tightly with foil and place in a larger pan of hot water (bain-marie). Bring to a boil on top of the stove, then lower the heat to medium low and continue cooking for one-and-a-half hours. Remove the mold from the water, loosen the foil and cool. Refrigerate until cold. Unmold and serve chilled and sliced.

I was disappointed with this pâté. It was bland and lacked flavor.

The pâté was a bit too runny for my taste. I think I would add a bit more cream cheese next time.

The pâté was a bit too salty for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference.

I would have liked the pâté to be a bit more smoky, but overall it was still very good.

I'm not a huge fan of pâté, but this one is really good. The smoked salmon flavor is not overpowering and the texture is perfect.

This pâté is the perfect make-ahead appetizer. I made it the day before my party and it was even better the next day.

I've made this pâté several times now and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The combination of smoked salmon, cream cheese, and capers is perfect.
