Serves: 4
Ingredients
Woman's Weekly cookery editor Sue McMahon says: It may seem like a lot of work to prepare crab, but more supermarkets are now selling pots of crabmeat ready picked - just take care, because it may still contain some shell. If buying a whole crab, it's easier to buy one ready-cooked, and ask the fishmonger to remove the dead man's fingers, which are the gills and the poisonous part of the crab.
- 100gcarton white crabmeat140g packet smoked salmon, finely chopped
- 4 spring onions, finely sliced
- 2 level tbsp chopped fresh dill
- 1tbsp virgin olive oil
- Juice of ½ lemon

Method
- Line a small baking sheet with cling film and place the 4 metal rings on the tray.
- Put the crabmeat, smoked salmon, spring onion, dill, olive oil, lemon juice and seasoning into a bowl and mix well.
- Divide the mixture between the 4 rings, pressing it down firmly.
- Mix together the creme fraiche and horseradish sauce or relish and spread it over the top of the fish mixture.
- Chill the fish for at least 2hrs, or overnight.
