Būche au Saumon (Salmon Log)

Ingredients
1 Can (15 oz) Salmon, drained
8 oz cream cheese at room temperature
1 tblsp. lemon juice
1 tsp. horseradish
1 cup pecans, chopped
2/3 cup fresh parsley (chopped) or 1/4 cup dry parsley
salt & pepper

 

Preparation
Remove salmon skin & bones & break into little pieces with a fork.  Set aside.
 
Put cream cheese in a bowl & beat with lemon juice & horseradish.
 
Add salt & pepper to taste.
 
Gradually add the salmon until the mixture is smooth.
 
Refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours.

Shape the cheese mix into a log (I do two).

Put the pecans & parsley on the work surface & coat the log(s) by rolling in the ingredients.

Wrap the log in aluminum foil & refrigerate until serving.

Put the log in a service plate with crackers and toasted bread pieces around it.


Can be done the night before.
