A good food chopper, cream cheese and a kick-my friend blender.

i've tried it before, but unless it's cold smoked sockeye, i wouldn't recommend it.  then again, i'm biased. i'm not big on pate.
i prefer to poach smoke salmon in creamo or 'half and half'.  it gives it a rich and flakey tecture.

so how does one Poach smoke? I am using a hot smoker..doesn't sound like it would work.

And dragon speed...what exactly is a "food chopper?"

thanks

all you do is take the hot smoked salmon and place it in simmering creamo.  let it cook through till the flesh starts to lightly flake.  or you can steam the smoked salmon then pour creamo over it. very simple... try it.

food chopper = quisinart/food processor.

Here's something that I've been making for family gatherings. You simply blend all this stuff in a blender/food processor. Don't forget to season with salt & pepper. I usually serve this with breadsticks, crackers, fresh baguette slices, olives... This makes around 6 servings...you can make it a day ahead, just make sure when you take it out of the fridge you give it some time to reach room temperature before serving. 

8 ounces smoked salmon, chopped
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
2 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
3 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
2 tablespoons chopped shallot
1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
