Steps

Prepare Spinach

Thoroughly wash the fresh spinach. In a pan with a little oil, wilt the spinach for 2-3 minutes until it collapses. Let it cool, then thoroughly squeeze out any excess water. If using frozen spinach, thaw it and also squeeze out the water.

Make the Pâté

Place the smoked salmon, squeezed spinach, cream cheese, lemon juice, and chopped dill into a food processor. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Pulse until creamy but not completely smooth, allowing for some texture. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.

Chill and Serve

Transfer the prepared pâté to a bowl, cover with cling film, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the pâté to firm up. Before serving, toast the brown bread, then spread generously with the spinach salmon pâté. Garnish with fresh dill or a lemon slice.

Extra Tips

► The pâté's flavor will be even more intense if you let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes after preparation.

► If you don't have fresh spinach, you can use frozen, but make sure to thoroughly squeeze out all the water after thawing.

► Experiment with other spices, such as a pinch of nutmeg or garlic powder, for an even richer flavor.
