I love salmon and cream cheese. This had too much lemon juice for me. I may try it again with less lemon and eat it like a snack with a salad or cucumbers like the author suggested. The avocado part is really good. Thanks for the recipe.

This is a fun decadent dish. Bit of labor intense and definitely for a cream cheese lover. Very good and pretty. It definitely needs a acid relief with quick cuke vinegar salad and some spinach made this very good.

What size ramekins? 4oz? 6oz?

Loved this - added some capers for a little zing

This was not my favorite due to the sheer amount of cream cheese. I ended up taking all of the normal chive blend out and just ate the small amount mixed with avocado. Needs a better fish to cheese ratio, in my opinion. It does look pretty though.

I felt like I was eating cream cheese.

Should be a warning that it takes like 3 days to cold smoke salmon.

Or you could buy it already done from the fish monger or supermarket

1 serving is one of the parcels or a slice?on the picture shown how many servings are these?

Hello, the recipe nutrition is calculated at 4 servings, being half a parcel per person. So the two parcels photographed would be divided into 4 portions. I hope this helps!
