Description

Imagine delicate slices of smoked salmon, each a whisper of the sea, embracing a creamy heart of rich filling. These salmon parcels are a study in contrasts, a dance between textures and flavors that awaken the palate. The silken salmon, infused with a subtle smokiness, yields to a luscious blend of cream cheese and the cool, verdant notes of fresh avocado.

A squeeze of lemon juice brightens the ensemble, its citrusy tang cutting through the richness and adding a vibrant zest. Finely chopped chives, like emerald confetti, contribute a gentle oniony flavor that elevates the filling to new heights. The aroma alone is enough to entice, a promise of the delectable experience to come.

These parcels are not only a delight to eat but also a feast for the eyes. The rosy hue of the salmon contrasts beautifully with the creamy white and pale green of the filling, creating an elegant presentation that is perfect for a special occasion or a simple, yet satisfying meal. Enjoy these creations as a luxurious main course, perhaps accompanied by a refreshing cucumber or watercress salad, its crispness providing a counterpoint to the richness of the salmon.

Alternatively, they make an excellent sophisticated lunch, a treat to savor and enjoy. The possibilities are endless; serve them as an appetizer at your next gathering, or pack them for a gourmet picnic. Their versatility extends beyond immediate consumption; these parcels freeze exceptionally well, allowing you to prepare them in advance and have a delectable treat ready whenever the craving strikes.

Simply thaw and enjoy, relishing the same exquisite flavors as if they were freshly made. Each bite is an invitation to pure indulgence, a moment of culinary bliss that you can experience any time you desire.

Instructions

    1.
    Line 2 ramekins or small pudding bowls with individual slices of smoked salmon. Overlap the salmon pieces to completely cover the bowls, ensuring enough salmon overhangs to cover the base of the parcel later.
    2.
    In a large bowl, combine the cream cheese, chopped chives, lemon zest, and half of the lemon juice. Season generously with salt and pepper.
    3.
    Beat the cream cheese mixture together until it is smooth, light, and fully combined.
    4.
    Set aside half a cup of the cream cheese mixture. Divide the remaining mixture evenly between the two salmon-lined ramekins, filling them about three-quarters full. Place the ramekins in the refrigerator to chill.
    5.
    In a food processor, combine the avocado with the remaining cream cheese mixture and lemon juice. Blend until you achieve a thick and creamy paste.
    6.
    Remove the ramekins from the refrigerator. Spoon the avocado mixture on top of the cream cheese layer, filling the bowls to the top.
    7.
    Fold the overhanging salmon slices over the filling, carefully sealing the mixture within the parcel. Ensure all the filling is enclosed by the salmon.
    8.
    Transfer the sealed salmon parcels to the refrigerator to set for at least 3-4 hours, allowing the flavors to meld and the filling to firm up.
