Ingredients

3 tablespoons butter

6 ounces thinly sliced smoked salmon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
3 tablespoons chopped chives

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Melt butter in large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Add leeks; sauté until tender but not brown, about 10 minutes. Add 1/2 cup cream to skillet; cook over very low heat until almost all of liquid is absorbed, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and cool.

    Step 2
