This is so easy and delicious! I usually use smoked salmon for personal tastes. From the "What Can I Bring Cookbook?" Chill time is 2 hours up to 48 hours and is not included in cook time.

Time 20m

Yield 1 1/2 cups, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 -6 ounces smoked fish fillet (salmon, trout or bluefish)
3 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
1 1/2 tablespoons mayonnaise (more or less to your liking ( we like more)
1/4 cup finely chopped celery
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (plus more for garnish ( optional)
2 tablespoons finely chopped red onions
1 dash hot pepper sauce (Cholula, Franks etc use more to taste)
salt
fresh ground black pepper
capers (optional to garnish)

Steps:

  • Remove and discard any skin on the fish. Place the fish in a medium sized bowl and flake it with a fork. Add the cream cheese and 1 tablespoon of the mayo and stir until well blended , and the pate is a consitency of your liking (we like ours quite chunky -- almost requiring a spoon) adding more mayo or cream cheese as needed.
  • Fold in celery, 1/4 cup of parsley and the onion. Add the lemon juice and hot pepper sauce and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Spoon into serving dish, cover and chill until serving time (at least 1-2 horus up to 48 hours).
  • Remove and garnish with additional parsley and capers if using.
  • Servie with crackers or for a chunkier pate, use toast points.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality smoked whitefish. This is the star ingredient of the pâté, so it's important to use the best you can find.
  • Don't overmix the pâté. Overmixing will make the pâté tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the pâté before serving. This will help the flavors to meld and will make the pâté easier to spread.
  • Serve the pâté with your favorite crackers or bread. You can also use it as a sandwich spread or as a dip for vegetables.

Conclusion:

Smoked whitefish pâté is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. It's perfect for parties or potlucks, and it's also a great way to use up leftover smoked whitefish. With its creamy texture and smoky flavor, smoked whitefish pâté is sure to be a hit with your guests.
