This was very good. I made it for an appetizer before Christmas dinner, and all the adults in my family enjoyed it. I felt that it needed a bit of extra horseradish and that the bell pepper was a bit too strong. The kids didn't care for the bell pepper, either, and kept picking it out. If it wasn't for those 2 things, I'd give it a 5-star rating. I will definitely make it again, but I think I'll leave out the bell pepper and double the horseradish. I might add some finely chopped green onion, too. We used a gift can of wild pink salmon. It was so easy to make, which I really appreciated at such a busy time. I didn't use the liquid smoke this time, but I think it'd be good with a few drops in it (maybe not a half-teaspoonful, though). Thank you so much for posting, Lorrie! Made for holiday tag.

DIVINE! Thanks for posting this amazing recipe Lorrie - the flavours were complex and yet subtle - the salmon still came through as the main flavour! I made this with a tin of salmon that I received from a zaar friend in Canada - it was delicious. I also played around with chives and chive flowers for the May topic in the photos forum - but, this was made for the photo tag game in the safari supper club! We both LOVED the addition of the horseradish - this was the secret ingredient we think!! Merci beaucoup encore Lorrie. A plus tard! Karen/FT:-)
