Steps:
- In a food processor, add the smoked salmon along with the mayonnaise and some pepper. Pulse just until the salmon is broken up into slightly smaller pieces. Do not overmix.
- Place the mixture into a bowl and combine with the raw salmon and creme fraiche or sour cream. You may add more or less depending on how creamy you like it. Add the shallot, lemon zest and juice and half the chives. Season with pepper; the mixture will likely not need salt due to the smoked salmon.
- Transfer the mixture to a shallow wide bowl and cover with the remaining chives. Serve with crostini.

Steps:
- Cream the cheese in an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment until just smooth. Add the sour cream, lemon juice, dill, horseradish, salt, and pepper, and mix. Add the smoked salmon and mix well. Chill and serve with crudites or crackers.
- If you can find it, I prefer Norwegian salmon; it's drier and less salty than other smoked salmon.

Tips:
- Choose the right salmon. Fresh, sushi-grade salmon is the best choice for this recipe. If you can't find fresh salmon, frozen salmon will also work, but be sure to thaw it completely before using.
- Use a good quality whiskey. The whiskey you use will have a big impact on the flavor of the spread. Choose a whiskey that you enjoy drinking, and make sure it is at least 80 proof.
- Don't over-smoke the salmon. The salmon should be smoked just until it is cooked through. If you over-smoke it, it will become dry and tough.
- Let the spread cool completely before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together and the spread to firm up.
- Serve the spread with crackers, bread, or vegetables. You can also use it as a filling for sandwiches or wraps.
Conclusion:
Whiskey smoked salmon spread is a delicious and versatile appetizer or snack. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you are a fan of whiskey or not, you are sure to enjoy this unique and flavorful spread.
