    Estonia Salmon Cheese pate on rye crisps are delicious and super easy to make. Salmon especially cold smoked salmon is a staple ingredient in Estonian cuisine. I garnished the pate with dill which is a common herb used there as well as edible borage flowers that we grow in our garden.

    Borage tastes like cucumber and it is a beautiful garnish, it sort of reminded me of a miniature version of their national flower the cornflower. These would be great as an appetizer for any occasion.

    Author International Cuisine

    Ingredients

    • 3 oz package good-quality cold smoked salmon
    • 1/3 cup cream cheese at room temperature
    • a small bunch of dill
    • lemon juice to taste
    • freshly ground black pepper to taste
    • To garnish:
    • cucumber or lemon slices
    • fresh dill or chives
    • edible borage flowers
    • finely grated lemon zest

    Instructions

    • Chop the smoked salmon into small chunks, place into the food processor together with the cream cheese. Add some lemon juice for seasoning and the dill. Process until smooth.
    • Taste for seasoning - add more lemon juice and season with pepper.
    • If you're serving this with crispy rye bread crisps, then you need some sliced rye bread, use a very dark rye bread. Cut out small squares, circles, or shapes and toast them in a preheated 400 F oven for about 6-7 minutes, until crispy. Cool, then spoon the cream cheese and smoked salmon paté on top and garnish before serving.
    • You can make the paté up to a day in advance, but don't spread it on toasted rye bread until up to an hour before serving, or they won't be crispy.
