Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz 225g smoked salmon, roughly chopped
  • 4 oz 113g unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
  • 2 oz 56g fresh salmon fillet (optional, for texture variation)
  • Zest of 1 lemon optional, for those who include minimal nnon-animal products
  • Salt and pepper to taste optional
  • Crispy fish skins for serving you can make these by baking or frying seasoned fish skins until crisp

Instructions
 

  • Prepare Fresh Salmon (Optional): If using fresh salmon, poach it gently in water or steam until cooked through. Cool and flake into small pieces.
  • Mix Salmon: In a bowl, combine the smoked salmon, cooked fresh salmon (if using), and softened butter. Mix until well combined. For a smoother texture, you can use a fork or an electric mixer on a low setting.
  • Flavor: If choosing to use lemon zest, stir it into the mixture at this point. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper if desired. Remember, the smoked salmon already adds a salty flavor.
  • Chill: Cover the mixture and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the butter to firm up, making the rillettes spreadable.
  • Prepare Crispy Fish Skins: While the rillettes chill, prepare your crispy fish skins if you haven’t already. These will serve as your zero-carb “crackers” for the rillettes.
  • Serve: Serve the salmon rillettes spread on crispy fish skins.
