30g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:

4. Final Adjustments:
- Taste the pate and add salt and pepper if needed, though the smoked salmon will likely provide enough seasoning.
5. Chill:
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the pate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
6. Serve:
- Once chilled, remove from the refrigerator and serve with crackers, toasted bread, or fresh vegetables.
