Ingredients
500g thinly sliced smoked salmon
300g crème fraîche
100g cream cheese
5 tbsp lemon juice
2 tsp finely chopped fennel (optional)
3 tbsp olive oil, plus extra for greasing
1 tsp caster sugar
1 cucumber, thinly sliced
Finely chopped fresh dill, chopped, plus extra sprigs to garnish
Method
In a food processor, blend 200g of the smoked salmon until smooth, then mix in the crème fraîche and cream cheese. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and gently stir in 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, a pinch of salt, some pepper, and the fennel, if desired.
Lightly grease 8 x 100ml moulds or ramekins with a thin layer of oil, then line each with the remaining smoked salmon slices, letting the edges hang over the sides. Divide the pâté evenly among the moulds, then fold the overhanging salmon to cover the top. Wrap tightly with cling film and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
For the dressing, combine the remaining lemon juice, olive oil, and sugar. Arrange the cucumber slices on serving plates, carefully turn out the terrines onto the cucumber, and top each with a sprig of dill. Sprinkle the cucumber with chopped dill and drizzle with the dressing before serving.
