Method
- Heat the oven to 180C/Gas 4. Season the salmon with sea salt and wrap it in foil. Bake for 15-20mins until the entire top has turned a pale pink.
- Flake the salmon off the skin into a large bowl. Zest the lemon into the bowl. Mix in the cream cheese, soy sauce and eggs. Followed by the breadcrumbs and spring onions. Mix to combine.
- From the zested lemon cut three thin slices and place these into the lined tin. Pile the salmon mixture on top and firmly press flat.
- Tightly cover with foil and place the loaf tin into a small high-sided baking tray. Put the baking tray into the oven and pour in just-boiled water to create a water bath. Cook for 45-55 mins. The terrine is ready when just firm to the touch. Remove the foil and allow the terrine to cool before tipping out of the tin. Chill in the fridge. Serve with pea shoots and bread.
