Ingredients

  • red salmon 210g
  • Philadelphia cream cheese 250g, softenend
  • fresh lemon juice a squeeze or two
  • coarse sea salt and freshly cracked pepper
  • chives 1/2 bunch, snipped
  • walnuts 1/2 cup, chopped

Drain the salmon and remove bones and skin. Fork lightly through the cheese and stir in salmon. Don’t over mix – it is really attractive to see the salmon against the white of the cheese. Flavour with lemon juice and season with salt and pepper and chilli if using. Spoon into a serving bowl. Cover the top with snipped chives and walnuts.  Serve with toasted Turkish bread or crusty bread or crackers.
