Preparation

Step 1
Place the salmon in a saucepan or skillet, add white wine just to cover the fish, and bring to a simmer. Poach gently 8 to 10 minutes, until just cooked. Drain salmon and allow to cool.
Step 2
Break salmon into pieces, being careful to pick out any bits of bone that may remain. Dice the butter, and process the salmon and butter together in a food processor or mash finely by hand until just uniformly blended. Add smoked salmon, and process or mash by hand briefly to combine.
Step 3
Season mixture with lemon juice and pepper. Chill until ready to serve. Serve topped with salmon caviar.
