  • Whip up the kirīmi tīhi (cream cheese) and wai rēmana (lemon juice) to a smooth consistency. Fold through the tote (salt), pepa (pepper), kiri rēmana (lemon zest), dill and hāmana (salmon). 

Extra Ingredients - Ngā Kai Anō (Mix and match to your tastes)

  • Spread the pani hāmana (salmon spread) on to the bottom of the focaccia.
