  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp chopped dill
  • 1 tsp chopped chives
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the mackerel: Remove the skin from the smoked mackerel fillets to ensure a smooth texture in the pate, then place the fillets into a food processor or blender.

  3. Blend the mixture: Pulse the ingredients until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy, ensuring all flavors combine evenly for a consistent pate.
  4. Season to taste: Taste the pate and add salt and black pepper as needed, blending briefly again if necessary to incorporate seasoning.
  5. Chill the pate: Transfer the pate to a bowl and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up and allow flavors to meld.
  6. Serve: Serve the chilled smoked mackerel pate with toast, crackers, or fresh salad leaves as an appetizer or light snack.

Notes

  • This pate can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
  • Use fresh herbs like dill and chives for the best aromatic flavor.
  • For a milder taste, adjust the amount of horseradish according to preference.
