A charcuterie board is always fun for a party. This Easy Smoked Salmon Spread is a little different than the usual components on a cheese board, but no doubt a great addition. I have actually made this spread long time ago, but life got busy and I forgot about it. All of a sudden, this spread popped into my mind last week. I thought it’s just the right recipe to share with you for the holiday season.

This spread is very easy. It’s almost all done in a food processor (or mix by hand). Add smoked salmon, lemon zest, lemon juice, chives and heavy cream to a food processor. Pulse until everything is pretty smooth. You can scoop it out and serve it in a bowl at this point if you like. Or you can make it looks extra nice by covering the spread with a layer of thinly sliced smoked salmon.

To do that, start of my placing a large piece of plastic wrap over a small ramekin. Then line the inside with a single layer of smoked salmon. Fill the inside with the spread. Cover with more smoked salmon. Collect the plastic wrap overhang and give it a gentle twist. The spread is now come together like a ball. Keep in the fridge for at least 45 minutes to set.

That’s it! Little smokey, creamy, and tangy. Excellent with buttery crackers or toasted baguette. I also love the spread looks nice and neat, which is excellent for a charcuterie board or just by itself with some crackers and capers. I hope you guys enjoy this appetizer. Let me know if you made it.

Happy Holidays to you and your family! Stay safe!

Ingredients

  • 7 ounces thinly sliced smoked salmon
  • 3½ tablespoons heavy cream
  • 1½ teaspoons lemon zest (about ½ lemon)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1½ tablespoons chives, plus more for garnish (finely chopped)
  • Salt
  • Ground black pepper
  • Capers (for serving)
  • Crackers or toasted baguette (for serving)

Instructions

  • In an 8-oz round ramekin or bowl, line a large piece of plastic wrap on the inside with at least 2-inch overhang all around. Make sure the wrap is nicely fitted in the ramekin. Use about half of the smoked salmon to line the inside of the ramekin. A little overlap is ok and it's ok to have overhang (because you still need to wrap the top). Leave a little bit smoked salmon for the top part. If you see any holes, patch with a small piece of salmon.
  • Transfer the rest of the salmon into a food processor. Add heavy cream, lemon zest, lemon juice, chives, a small pinch of salt and black pepper. Process in short bursts until the mixture is mostly smooth. Don’t over mix. If the mixture seems a bit too dry, transfer to a small bowl and stir in a little more heavy cream. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Spoon the mixture into the salmon ramekin. Pat down slightly. Cover the top with smoked salmon. Bring the plastic wrap together and give it a gentle twist. Keep the twist in place and transfer to the fridge and chill for at least 45 minutes.
  • When ready to serve, lift the whole salmon piece out along with the plastic wrap. Carefully remove the plastic wrap. Turn the salmon spread upside down and place on a platter. Garnish with chopped chives and serve along with capers and crackers.

Notes

  1. It’s best to use smoked salmon that is thin and large. The ones I used were a bit thick and pretty small, which made it harder to wrap.
  2. If you don’t have a food processor, you can make the spread by hand too. Cut the salmon as fine as you can. Mince the chives. Whisk the heavy cream until thickened a bit, almost a soft peak. Stir in the rest of ingredients and mix well. That should do it.
  3. I like to serve this in a charcuterie board along with olives, fruit, and cheese. But you can serve by itself with crackers or sliced baguette too.
  4. This spread can be made a few hours ahead, but best to serve in the same day.

Growing up, I looked forward to my mom’s mango p Growing up, I looked forward to my mom’s mango pudding every summer. That creamy & soft pudding is loaded w/ tons of fresh mangoes. My version is pretty much the same, but I switch out the mango-flavored gelatin mix for fresh mangoes. It tastes incredible & brings me back to my childhood right away! It was the perfect dessert when I was a kid, and it’s still the most satisfying dessert today! 🥭

Sometimes, something simple is the best. My go-to Sometimes, something simple is the best. My go-to is a cheeseburger w/ extra toasted bun & onion. Bryan likes his double-double w/ onion. The fries were perfectly crispy, and I like to dip them in the spread sauce. Please order me 2 fries next time!😂 How do you like your In-N-Out?
Ice cream time! This Vanilla Blueberry Thyme Swirl Ice cream time! This Vanilla Blueberry Thyme Swirl Ice Cream is creamy, little vanilla-y w/ bits of blueberries & a hint of thyme. That vibrant blueberry swirls also makes the prettiest purple color too! I made this ice cream using my blueberry thyme jam, so it’s very easy.🫐🍨

Spring time means berries. Let starts w/ Blueberry Spring time means berries. Let starts w/ Blueberry Thyme Jam! Sweet, lemony & earthy. A nice surprising combo, but both blueberry & thyme compliment each other really well. I once served this once w/ a slice of Basque cheesecake, & it was fantastic! The jam is good on all sort of things, like yogurt and charcuterie board. 🫐

When I think of comfort food, this Satay Beef Cell When I think of comfort food, this Satay Beef Cellophane Noodles in Clay Pot (沙嗲牛肉粉絲煲) definitely is up there on the top. One of my favorites to order in Hong Kong! It’s hearty & rich. That tender beef & noodles are coated w/ a savory & slightly sweet satay sauce. Little kick from the chili & the earthiness from the mushroom. Bold flavors! Please just give me a bowl of rice already! Btw, this takes only 30 mins to put together, which makes a great weeknight dish.

Maude (@mauderestaurant) has reopened & we’re ba Maude (@mauderestaurant) has reopened & we’re back! It closed down during the pandemic & eventually was selling sweet & savory pies for a while. Once we heard Maude was about to reopen, we made reservation. It’s a 9-course tasting menu w/ the focus on California cuisine this time. Everything was incredible. We chose to sit on the chef’s table & watched them plating & cooking. Precision & speed w/ lots of components. We had our many firsts, like cactus, caviar, & black truffle. Our favorites of the night were caviar w/ peas, abalone & bread w/ aged butter. We really love this place & look forward to going back soon!
