Ingredients

  • 2 lbs MSC certified smoked wild salmon, chopped
  • 1 lb cream cheese at room temperature
  • ½ lb unsalted butter at room temperature
  • 1 tbsp chopped tarragon
  • 1 tbsp chopped dill
  • juice and zest of 2 lemons
  • 1 tsp fennel seeds, toasted and ground

Method

1. To toast the fennel seeds, place in a small pan on medium heat and toast until the colour goes a little darker and you can smell them. About 5 minutes. Grind using a mortar and pestle or in a spice grinder of your choice.

2. In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine all ingredients and mix until well incorporated. Start slowly and increase speed to medium, mixing for 5 minutes in total.

3. Adjust seasoning with a little salt or more lemon if necessary. 

4. Serve with your favourite crackers or crusty bread.

Make ahead: Can be stored in the fridge for 4-5 days. Remove just what you want to serve 15 minutes ahead to soften slightly.
