Hot-smoked salmon and prawn terrine served in a white bowl with toast

I love spring. It is definitely my favourite season. The daffs bloom, the days get longer and the weather gets warmer. And with it all comes a whole host of new foods to be eaten. Ok, we may not be able to say a permanent goodbye to steaming bowls of soup and simmering casseroles yet, but we can definitely begin to get excited about warmer weather food and this hot-smoked salmon and prawn terrine is perfect for this time of year.


Hot-smoked salmon and prawn terrine served in a white bowl and on toast

I was wandering around Sainsbury’s a few weeks ago (I usually do an on-line shop but occasionally I like to pop in to the shops to remind myself what is actually on the shelves) when some hot-smoked salmon caught my eye. Along with some prawns and a few other staples I knew I could come up with something good.

This is my kind of food. Simple to make, good for you and packed with flavour. The best bit about this terrine is that you don’t need any special gadgets. A sharp knife and chopping board is about as fancy as it gets. To be fair, this isn’t a true terrine as it hasn’t been set in a container then served in slices, but that’s the closest thing I could liken it to. And does it really matter when it tastes this good?

Since I first made this we’ve eaten it as a starter at a friend’s birthday dinner and for lunch at home, both times on toast, although it would be just as good stuffed into a sandwich and eaten on the beach (I might be being a little optimistic but we can dream). And if you want a carb free option, why not serve it alongside some baby salad leaves and a tomato and onion salad?

    Nice recipe, but why are you referring to this as a terrine? There’s nothing about this that in assembly, presentation or serving that is remotely equal to terrine. Here’s where I’ve found some reference material for your perusal. I hope you enjoy discovering all about food. Check out a copy of a food dictionary to add to your collection. It’s been 40+ years since I bought my mold and made my first of many terrines.

    Bloggers about food are wonderful, but can be undereducated about topics sometimes.

    I love salmon and this is a great easy dish. It would be perfect for a simple lunch at home for us and I’d love to see if my kids would eat it too.

Easy Summer Coleslaw. This fresh, light, summer coleslaw is a slaw that you will come back to again and again. Crunchy, but with none of the toughness of traditional coleslaw. The tangy lime dressing really makes the flavours sing.
