    List of Ingredients




    Salt
    8 ounces skinless salmon fillet
    1 medium lemon
    8 ounces smoked salmon, finely chopped
    1/2 cup margarine or butter (1 stick), softened
    1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
    1 teaspoon drained capers, chopped
    1/8 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
    2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon chopped fresh chives
    French bread

    Recipe



    1. Poach salmon: In 10-inch skillet, heat 4 cups water and 1 teaspoon salt to boiling over high heat. Add salmon fillet; heat to boiling. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer 8 to 10 minutes until salmon flakes easily when tested with fork. With slotted pancake turner, carefully remove salmon from water; drain salmon (still held on pancake turner) on paper towels. Transfer salmon to medium bowl; cool slightly.

    2. Meanwhile, grate 1 teaspoon peel and squeeze 2 tablespoons juice from lemon.

    3. With wooden spoon, stir and mash poached salmon almost to a smooth paste. Add smoked salmon, margarine or butter, Dijon mustard, capers, pepper, lemon peel, lemon juice, and 2 tablespoons chopped chives; blend thoroughly.

    4. Spoon salmon mixture into a crock or serving bowl. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours. Let stand at room temperature 30 minutes before serving or until soft enough to spread. Sprinkle with remaining chopped chives and serve with sliced French bread.
