Smoked Salmon Terrine

Didn't have red salmon so used pink - think the red would make the colour pinker

·         ½ Cucumber
·         280g Soft cheese
·         3 tbsp Mayonnaise
·         200g Smoked salmon, finely chopped
·         213g Red salmon, can, drained and flaked
·         1 Lemon, finely grated zest and 1 tbsp of juice only
·         1 tbsp Dill, fresh, chopped
·         60g Butter, melted

Instructions
1            Cut half the cucumber into thin rings and dice the rest. Put the diced bits in a bowl and sprinkle with salt, leave for 20 minutes then drain and squeeze out excess liquid with kitchen paper.

2            Meanwhile, beat together the soft cheese with the mayonnaise, all the salmon, lemon zest and juice and dill. Fold in the diced cucumber and half the melted butter. Season to taste.

3            Spoon into a large glass jar or 6 glass ramekins. Top with cucumber slices and brush the top with melted butter.

4            Cover tightly with clingfilm and chill overnight. Serve with oatcakes or fresh crusty bread.
