Time 10m

Yield Four or more servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 pound skinless, boneless smoked salmon
3 tablespoons finely chopped onions
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon drained whole capers
1 1/2 tablespoons finely chopped dill
1 tablespoon olive oil
Freshly ground pepper to taste
Dill sprigs for garnish
Dill and mustard sauce (see recipe)
Buttered toast triangles (see instructions)

Steps:

Put the salmon on a flat surface and chop it finely with a knife. Do not use a food processor or blender. You do not want to make a smooth paste. There should be about one cup or slightly less, closely packed.
Put the salmon in a mixing bowl and add the onions, lemon juice, capers, dill, oil and pepper. Blend thoroughly. Serve in small portions garnished with a dill sprig. Serve with dill and mustard sauce on the side and buttered toast triangles.
