Poach the cod for 8 minutes in simmering water with lemon juice. The liquid should simmer, not boil. Stay close for the first few minutes to set the heat, then check that nothing sticks to the bottom. Amount for this step: 400 g cod.
Drain it and flake it with a fork. Count the time from when you start, and only move on once you get the result described.
Mix with the finely chopped shallot, the cream, the lemon juice and the chives. Count the time from when you start, and only move on once you get the result described. Amounts for this step: 1 shallot; 1 lemon; Chives.
Cover and chill for 30 minutes before spreading. Press plastic wrap onto the surface to stop a skin forming, and chill it away from the back wall of the fridge. This rest is part of the total time.
