- Store-bought pâtés have too many additives and preservatives, so it's better to make this kind of appetizer yourself from good ingredients. Pink salmon is a member of the salmon family. It isn't as fatty as some of its relatives, but it's just as good for you, which makes it perfect for pâté. Today I'm pairing it with butter. You can make it ahead, since it keeps well in the fridge — a good dish to have on hand when guests turn up unannounced. Gather all the ingredients. Take the butter out of the fridge ahead of time so it softens. Rinse and dry the lettuce; you can use any leafy greens instead, which add a fresh note and a little extra nutrition. Start with the main ingredient: clean and rinse the pink salmon. Bring 2 quarts of water to a boil in a pot and salt it lightly. Lower in the fish and poach it for 10 minutes. Lift it out and let it cool somewhere cool. Meanwhile, peel the onion and cut it into half-rings. Sauté the onion in vegetable oil — use just a little oil, since too much can throw off the pâté's texture. Once the onion is soft and starting to turn golden, turn off the heat. Clean the cooled fish and break it into pieces. Put all the prepped ingredients into a blender: the poached salmon, butter, sautéed onion, lettuce, and 1 teaspoon of tomato paste — the paste lends a subtle tomato flavor and a pleasant color. Add a little salt and pepper. Blend until smooth. Transfer the finished pâté to a jar; it keeps longest in glass or earthenware. The pâté is great on sandwiches with any bread and pairs beautifully with fresh cucumber, tomato, or lemon. Enjoy!
