Instructions

Place salmon in medium sized bowl and flake with a fork. Add cream cheese, shallots, lemon juice, mayo, horseradish sauce, smoked paprika, salt and pepper to bowl.
Use a hand mixer to blend ingredients on low speed for a good two minutes, until ingredients are well combined and the spread is fairly smooth.
Prepared spread can be served in a pretty bowl along with crackers and crudites, or molded by hand into a fish shape on a platter and decorated with sliced olives to simulate scales, as shown in the photo.
