Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Smoked mackerel fillets (skin removed)
- 150 grams Cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons Sour cream or crème fraîche
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Horseradish sauce
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Remove the skin from the smoked mackerel fillets and break the fish into chunks, ensuring there are no bones.
In a food processor, combine the smoked mackerel, cream cheese, sour cream or crème fraîche, lemon juice, and horseradish sauce.
Blend until smooth, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides of the processor bowl.
Finely chop the fresh parsley and add it to the mixture. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Pulse the mixture briefly to incorporate the parsley, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
Transfer the pâté to a serving bowl or ramekin and cover with plastic wrap. Let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve with fresh crusty bread, crackers, or vegetable sticks. Garnish with additional parsley or a lemon wedge if desired.
