Grease a 900g loaf tin and line with 2 sheets of clingfiom, leaving plenty of overhang on all sides. Neatly line the bottom and sides with the 200g Tesco Finest smoked salmon, sticking it to the clingfilm. This will be the top of the dish, so make sure there aren't any gaps. Reserve any leftover salmon.
Put the soft cheese, horseradish, lemon juice and half the zest in a food processor; season. Blitz to combine, then add the 40g roughly chopped smoked salmon and blitz again until just incorporated. Stir through the chives. Spoon into the base of the tin and spread evenly.
Layer over 100g thinly sliced beetroot, slightly overlapping, but not touching the edge of the salmon. Spread over both jars of langoustine pâté, then carefully fold over any salmon overhang and fill in any gaps with the remaining salmon. Fold over the clingfilm to seal the terrine and press down gently to make sure it's even. Store in the fridge for up to 2 days.
To serve, unwrap the clingfilm and place a serving platter on top of the terrine. Invert to turn out the terrine. Invert to turn out the terrine, then carefully remove the remaining clingfilm. Spoon over the diced beetroot and scatter with the capers, dill and remaining lemon zest. Serve in slices with crispbreads, crackers or thinly sliced toast.
