Seafood Pate Recipe
Salmon Pate

Here's a lovely seafood pate recipe from Cafe Hobson of Melbourne, Victoria. 

I have tried it and it is really delicious served with thin melba toast. 

To make melba toast, you need to take ready sliced bread and toast it on both sides.

When it is nicely golden, cut the four crusts off with a sharp knife. Then insert your knife into the soft bread in the centre and gently cut them apart.

Return each slice to the grill (you can't use a toaster for this part as it will burn the already toasted sides) and cook the inner part of the bread until golden.

This will result in a lovely thin crispy toast.

You can keep it in an airtight container for a couple of days and it's certainly a job you could do in advance of a dinner party.

You could use smoked salmon, smoked trout, smoked mackerel, crab, tuna (even canned crab and tuna) or any type of fish you like to make this seafood pate recipe.  I particularly like smoked fish pate spread on toast for breakfast. 

The quantities stay roughly the same.

It is an excellent 'base' recipe to experiment with your own combinations.  I often find smoked mackerel in the marked down area of my supermarket and it makes the most gorgeous pate. You can buy it and freeze it until you're ready to use but if you do that, defrost and use it on the same day. Also, don't keep the made up pate for longer than two days.
