Instructions
Prep the Fish – Remove the skin. Using your hands or a fork, flake the fish into bite-sized pieces in a mixing bowl.
Mix the Creamy Base - In a separate bowl, whisk together the crème fraîche, cream cheese, lemon juice, lemon zest, shallot, and grated horseradish until smooth and fully combined.
Combine and fold - Add the chopped dill and chives to the creamy base. Gently fold the flaked smoked fish into the mixture until everything is evenly coated.
Season to Taste - Add some black pepper. Give it a quick taste before adding salt; hot-smoked fish is naturally quite salty, so you may only need a tiny pinch.
Chill and Set - Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
