Ingredients
- 150 g smoked salmon
- ¼ cup sour cream

- 1½ tbsp fresh dill, chopped
- pinch cayenne pepper (optional)
- salt and pepper, to taste
- additional smoked salmon and dill, for garnish
Instructions

- Transfer to a small bowl and refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour.
- Serve cold with a side of crackers or chips.
Notes
To cover this pâté with sliced smoked salmon, place a sheet of plastic wrap into a ramekin. Then, add a thin layer of smoked salmon to the ramekin, covering the bottom and the sides. After adding the salmon, fill the ramekin with the pâté, cover, and refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour.
Just before serving, use the plastic wrap to pull the pâté out of the ramekin, flip, and place on a serving tray. Garnish with a sprig of dill.
