Directions

SERVES 6-8

This is a wonderful snack or cocktail party dish. It is typical of the cuisine of the Pacific Northwest, but you must understand that by smoked salmon I do not mean that dry stuff, which is nothing but grainy strings.

The salmon that I use for this dish is almost coldsmoked . . . in the East you would probably call it lox. Be sure the salmon is skinless and boneless. I like a mixture of two kinds, raw and light-smoked. Chop the salmon and anchovies in a medium-sized food processor for just a few seconds. We don't want a paste but a coarse chop. Place the mixture in a bowl. Mix all other ingredients together and blend with the fish. Chill before serving.

Spread on thin rye crackers as a first course.
