method
1. Remove any bones and skin from the salmon. In a bowl, work the fish into a smooth paste with the back of a spoon.
2. Beat the curd cheese until it is smooth.
3. Add the salmon, lemon juice, seasonings, and fromage frais or natural yogurt to the curd cheese and mix well, until thoroughly incorporated.
4. Divide the mixture equally between 4 individual custard cups. Smooth the surfaces carefully.
5. Slice each pickle lengthways, 4 or 5 times, making sure that you do not cut completely through the gherkin at the narrow end. Splay the cut ends into a fan, and use these to decorate the tops of the pates in the custard cups.
