Posted by artsycook

Easy and it melts in your mouth! Men really love this appetizer!

1 tablespoon green onion or shallots, fine chopped
2 tablespoons plus 1/4 cup unsalted butter, soft (divided )
2 to 5 ounces smoked salmon, boned and flaked
1/4 cup cream cheese
1/4 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/4 cup whipping cream, whipped
1 tablespoon vodka

Sauté onion in 2 tablespoons butter in a small skillet, until golden. Add salmon, stir and remove from heat.

Place salmon mixture in a blender or food processor. Add sour cream, cream cheese and 1/4 cup softened butter. Blend well. Add lemon juice and vodka. Blend until smooth and remove to a bowl. Fold in whipped cream. Spoon into a mold or a small plastic container and refrigerate up to 2 days.

Serve chilled but not cold. (You can dip bottom and sides in warm water to loosen and unmold, inverting onto a serving plate, if you wish.
