I just made this and although it was good I would suggest using 6 oz smoked salmon, a big pinch of kosher salt and go easy on the lemon juice - 2 T was too much for my liking - I will use 1T next time. Otherwise...... easy to make and with more salmon and less lemon it should be delicious.
Really simple to make. Everyone loved it. Requested by family for Super Bowl Sunday.

i made this the morning of my dinner party
How far in advance can this be made and how long would it keep for?
This is quick, easy and tasty! My guests LOVED it. I will definitely make this again!!!
This is too easy to be so good. I got many compliments when I served this as part of a tea party.
