This is a wonderful snack or cocktail party dish. It is typical of the
cuisine of the Pacific Northwest, but you must understand that by smoked
salmon I do not mean that dry stuff, which is nothing but grainy strings.
The salmon that I use for this dish is almost coldsmoked . . . in the East
you would probably call it lox.

Be sure the salmon is skinless and boneless. I like a mixture of two
kinds, raw and light-smoked. Chop the salmon and anchovies in a
medium-sized food processor for just a few seconds. We don't want a paste
but a coarse chop. Place the mixture in a bowl. Mix all other ingredients
together and blend with the fish. Chill before serving.

Spread on thin rye crackers as a first course.
