Description

A classic international-style salmon pate made with fresh salmon, whitefish, and a bread-soaked base. Baked in a water bath for a tender, sliceable result, this dish is perfect for entertaining or a sophisticated appetizer. The blend of spices and cream creates a luxurious flavor profile.

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C).

  7. Add the bread and cook, stirring for 5 minutes.
  8. Scrape the mixture into a mixing bowl.

  10. Add the salt, pepper, coriander, and nutmeg and mix.
  11. Place the mixture in a food processor and process until smooth, or fit a meat grinder with a medium die and grind the fish mixture twice.
  12. Transfer mixture to a mixing bowl and place bowl over a pan of ice water.

  20. Remove pate from oven and its water bath.
  21. Place loaf pan on a baking sheet.
  22. Cool for 1 hour.

  24. To remove, run a knife around edges of the pate.
  25. Dip loaf pan in hot water for a minute.
  26. Turn out onto a plate.
  27. Serve with toast or crackers.
