Ingredients

Directions

Step #1 Place half of salmon, rind, juice, sour cream, cardamom, & pepper in a food processor/blender.
Step #2 Process until smooth.
Step #3 Transfer salmon mixture to a bowl.
Step #4 Coarsely chop remaining salmon, & fold into salmon mixture.
Step #5 Gently fold in 1/4 c chives.
Step #6 Cover up & chill in the fridge.
Step #7 Garnish with extra sliced chives, if desired.
Step #8 How to Hot-Smoke a Salmon: Besides fresh fish at the seafood counter, keep an eye out for smoked salmon, either hot-smoked (kippered) or cold-smoked (lox).
Step #9 I use hot-smoked salmon in the winter for pizzas & other savory dishes.
Step #10 Lox is more delicate & doesn't hold up to cooking, but we serve it with breakfast toast & with appetizers in the afternoon.
Step #11 Although commercially smoked fish is readily available, you can also prepare your own on the grill with wood chips available in small bags from most markets.
Step #12 I prefer alder wood if it is available.
Step #13 Use this smoked salmon in the recipes here, or add it to pasta, pizza, or a main-course salad.
