All kinds of jellies and hodgepodges, zrazy and cutlets were not translated on the tables of Russians. And today we cannot deny ourselves the pleasure of enjoying the delicate delicacies of this silvery beauty. Initially, recipes for fish pates were kept in strict secrecy and each cook tried to add his own twist to them. In their culinary experiments, they noticed that spicy herbs: dill, parsley, celery give the dish a refined taste. But they should be prepared in a special way: lightly simmer a bunch of greens in boiling water, then chop and mix with the fillet.

The five most commonly used ingredients in recipes are:

With the advent of kitchen gadgets, the process of preparing this dish has become faster. The ideal consistency can be achieved by passing the prepared minced meat first through a blender and then through a sieve. Those who are preparing the delicacy for the first time should know that adding silver skin to the minced meat will make it coarser in consistency. Pay attention to proper serving of the product. Sand baskets decorated with olives and slices of pickled cucumbers are best suited for serving fish paste.

This is the snack of my dreams! As the main ingredient, namely smoked fish, we chose hot smoked mackerel.

Ideally, the hot smoking process looks like this: the fish is salted and smoked in very hot smoke for about 2 hours until cooked. Thus, the fish becomes smoked and baked at the same time. Very tasty, it also retains its beneficial properties. But this is ideal. Unfortunately, now manufacturers neglect the rules of smoking and speed up the process using all sorts of technological tricks. As a result, pseudo-smoked fish ends up on our table, and this is at best.

Try to buy fish from the same store and always ask if it is fresh. Do not hesitate to ask to smell the fish - this is a matter of your health, and what could be more important?! And remember that fish smoked without entrails has a much shorter shelf life.

  • 200 grams of red fish;
  • 100 grams of cream cheese.

To submit:

  • toast;
  • lemon for decoration;
  • greens for decoration.

To prepare the pate, we need red fish - trout, pink salmon, salmon... The fish can be smoked or lightly salted - depending on what taste you want the pate to have in the end. This time I prepared lightly salted trout pate. Moreover, I salt the fish myself - it’s very simple and quick. I will briefly describe the easiest way to you now. You need to mix salt and sugar in equal proportions and coat a piece of fish fillet on all sides with this mixture. Then place the fish in a sealed container and leave in the refrigerator for at least a day. After such marinating and salting, the fish will turn out very tender and tasty. And you will be absolutely sure that no chemicals were used in its preparation.

If your piece of red fish fillet has skin, then to prepare the pate, the skin must be carefully removed. If you pull the edge of the skin, it will pull away from the fillet. By holding the fillet with one hand and working slowly, you can easily remove the skin.

You need to carefully examine the fish to see if there are any bones in the piece, even small ones. If they are there, they need to be pulled out.

Cut the fish into small pieces of arbitrary size. The fact is that we will grind the fish into a pate using a blender. And for the technique to cope with its task, you need to cut the fish into small pieces.

Grind the pieces of red fish in a blender to a paste. It will only take you a couple of minutes.

Then add cream cheese to the chopped red fish.

And again we use a blender - mix the cheese and fish. At the same time, the mass will change slightly in color - it will not be so bright, but still very beautiful.

All we have to do is try the fish pate and make sure it turns out amazingly tasty and tender, just as we wanted. Now it can be transferred to a salad bowl (or some other suitable container) and served.

One way to serve fish pate is on toast, garnished with herbs. This method, in my opinion, will be very effective.

Another option is to make small sandwiches with pate from white bread or a loaf. You can decorate this sandwich with an additional slice of lemon. Lemon goes very well with red fish in any form, including pate.

Pate recipe

You can make pate from any smoked fish - perch, bream, crucian carp - it doesn’t matter. Smoked fish is very easy to peel. And in the dorsal part of the fish there are practically no bones. If you wish, you can, of course, clean the smoked meat from the rest of the fish, but this is optional.

The meat was cleaned, the volume was visually determined and the same amount of butter would be needed. It should melt a little to make it easier to mix.

Pate Ready!

Now you need to transfer the oil and cleaned fish meat into a blender, add a little salt and pepper, and you can add fresh herbs. And beat until smooth!

All that remains is to transfer the pate into a plastic container in which it will be stored.

It turned out to be an excellent “spread” for a sandwich - for breakfast, lunch, and dinner for guests.
