This paté is super healthy and perfect for low-carb eating. It's made with fatty fish high in omega 3 fatty acids and works great with both baked and smoked salmon. Pecans add a chunkier texture and go well with salmon. I made the paté with some Cheesy Spinach Crackers which I will share with you very soon :-)

Ingredients (makes 6-10 servings, ~ 2 1/2 cups)
- 2 small salmon fillets (240 g/ 8.5 oz)
- 1 tbsp ghee (you can make your own)
- 1 small red onion (60 g/ 2.1 oz)
- 1/2 cup pecans or walnuts (50 g/ 1.8 oz)
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise (30 g/ 1.1 oz) - you can make your own
- 1/2 cup cream cheese (120 g/ 4.2 oz)
- 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic
- 3 tbsp freshly chopped parsley
- 1/2 tsp salt (I like pink Himalayan)
- freshly ground black pepper
This recipe serves 6 as a started or 10 as a dip. When looking for ingredients, try to get them in their most natural form (organic, without unnecessary additives).
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200 F / 400 F. Place the salmon filets on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Drizzle with ghee and transfer into the oven for 20-25 minutes. When done, remove from the oven and let it cool down. Then, peel and discard the skin.
- Peel and slice the garlic and dice the onion. Place the cooked salmon and garlic into a food processor and pulse until smooth.
To keep the paté chunky, I added the onion and pecans after the garlic & salmon were blended.
- Add the onion, pecan nuts, mayonnaise,...
- ... cream cheese, lemon juice, salt and pepper.
- Pulse for a few seconds until desired consistency is reached.
- Spoon the paté into a bowl and add freshly chopped parsley. Mix until well combined. Serve immediately and cover with a wrap and store in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Serve on top of low-carb bread, with breadsticks, tortilla chips or Cheesy Spinach Crackers.
