Notes

- Flavour: Tweak the ingredients to suit your taste. For example use less cooked salmon and more smoked, add more lemon juice for a tangier flavour or make it really peppery.
- Texture: Puree the ingredients until as creamy and smooth as possible. For best results add the chives towards the end and just pulse a few times.
- Serving suggestions: Serve with crackers, toast, garnished with pickled gherkins or beetroot, capers or sliced radishes.
- Storing: This salmon spread can be refrigerated, covered, for up to 3 days. If you omit the chives the spread will stay fresh for up to 4 days (you can stir them in just before serving).
- Not suitable for freezing.
