Salmon Pate en Terrine

I'll bet this French concontion will become a particular fav. as it has all the ingredients "we" love: tarragon, smoked and fresh fish, mayo., Dijon, and of course, BUTTER!! Perfect as an appetizer on toasted baguette slices or as a light main meal paired with a wedge* salad.
(serves 12 - makes 3 cups)

5 cups of water
2 t. kosher salt*
1 (12 oz.) fresh wild caught* salmon fillet
8 oz. smoked wild caught* salmon
1/2 cup chopped green onion
2 T. chopped fresh lemon* parsley
1 t. chopped fresh tarragon, or to taste
7 T. Kerrygold butter, softened
1/2 cup light* mayo.
1 T. Dijon mustard
1 T. fresh lemon juice, or to taste
1/2 t. freshly* ground black pepper

Bring water to a boil in a large saucepan and add salt. Add fresh salmon fillet, reduce heat, and simmer until just cooked through, 6-8 mins. Transfer salmon to a plate with a slotted spoon and let cool 10 mins. Flake salmon into a large bowl, discarding skin, and toss together with smoked salmon, green onion, parsley, and tarragon. Whisk together butter, mayo., mustard, lemon juice, and pepper in a bowl until smooth. Add mayo. mixture to salmon mixture and gently stir until well combined. Transfer to a long, deep, rectangular ceramic baking dish or round crock; cover and chill for 3 hours before serving. I would set out a small bowl of cornichons to accompany*!!
