Steps:
- Put the vermouth, onion, lemon juice, parsley stalks and peppercorns in a saucepan with 150ml water and bring to the boil. Simmer for 10 mins. Turn the heat down to a very gentle simmer, add the salmon fillet and poach for 4 mins. Let the salmon sit and cool in the liquid.
- Lift the salmon out of its poaching liquid, remove the skin and flake the flesh roughly. Mix the flesh with the smoked salmon, a good squeeze of lemon, the butter, chervil and some pepper. Tip into a bowl, cover and put in the fridge (be sure to bring it back to room temperature to serve).
- Mix the crème fraîche with the herbs, capers, shallot, oil and lemon juice to taste. Serve the rillettes with leaves of chicory - its bitterness is very good against the richness of the salmon - the caper crème fraîche and some rye bread, if you like.

SALMON RILLETTES
A light but rich tasting spread made with fresh and smoked salmon. This is my adaptation of David Lebovitz's adaptation of Susan Loomis's salmon rillettes, a recipe that I have been wanting to make for years. A more buttery version is in Susan Loomis's wonderful book "Cooking at Home on Rue Tatin," and on David Lebovitz's eponymous website. David uses a mixture of steamed fresh salmon and smoked salmon, and I have followed suit, changing the proportions slightly. I used much less butter - 1 tablespoon, and a tablespoon each of olive oil and crème fraîche, as well as some Greek yogurt, and I still came up with a mixture that I can call rillettes. You can serve the spread with sliced bread or crackers, spoon onto endive leaves, cucumber rounds or squares of red and green pepper, or use as a filling for miniature bell peppers. You can also substitute these salmon rillettes for the smoked trout rillettes in the recipe for "Lentils With Smoked Trout Rillettes" from earlier this week. As always, use a fork, not a food processor, to make this.

Steps:
- Lightly oil a steamer basket. Season salmon with salt and pepper and place in steamer basket over 1 inch of boiling water. Cover and steam 5 to 8 minutes, depending on thickness of the salmon. It should be just cooked through and easy to flake apart, but moist. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
- Using a fork or a whisk, cream butter and olive oil together until mixture is smooth and emulsified.
- Flake salmon into a medium-size bowl and add smoked salmon. Using a fork, mash the two together until well combined and salmon has broken down like canned tuna. Add butter and olive oil, yogurt and crème fraîche and work together with a fork until well combined. Add lemon juice to taste and the chives, and mix together well. Add pepper and mix together. Chill for 1 to 2 hours. Allow to come to room temperature before serving.
- Either spoon onto endive leaves or other vegetables, or serve with toasted bread or crackers.

Steps:
- Mix together the cream cheese, chives, parsley, tarragon, paprika, salt (to taste), and pepper (to taste) in a bowl. You may need to add a spoonful of milk or water to thin the consistency slightly. It needs to be thick but slightly spreadable.
- Brush the melted butter on each sheet of phyllo dough and layer gently.
- In the center, right half of the phyllo rectangle, gently spread half of the cream cheese mixture, layer half of the brie slices, and sprinkle half of the onions. Add salmon slices and season with a bit of salt and pepper. It is ok if they overlap. Top the salmon with the remaining cream cheese, onions, and brie.
- Fold over the empty half of the phyllo and create a large package, sealing tightly around the edges. Make it as pretty or rustic as you prefer.
- Brush the top of the dough with melted butter.
- Bake in a 400 degree oven for about 7-8 minutes, or until outside is golden brown and flaky. Cool before slicing.
- Slice into squares and serve at a brunch or as an appetizer. It goes well with mustard, bagels, bagel chips, cheese, vegetables, fruit, etc.
- Enjoy!

Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before starting, make sure all ingredients are measured and prepped. This will help ensure a smooth and efficient cooking process.
- Use High-Quality Ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the final dish. Opt for fresh, flavorful ingredients to elevate the taste of your tartlets.
- Chill the Dough: Chilling the phyllo dough before baking helps prevent it from becoming too crispy and brittle. This will result in a tender, flaky crust.
- Brush the Dough with Butter: Brushing the phyllo dough with melted butter before baking adds richness and helps create a golden brown color.
- Bake the Tartlets Until Golden Brown: Keep a close eye on the tartlets while baking to ensure they don't overcook. The edges should be golden brown and the filling should be set.
- Let the Tartlets Cool Before Filling: Allow the tartlets to cool slightly before filling them. This will prevent the filling from becoming too runny.
- Use a Piping Bag for a Clean Finish: Transfer the salmon rillettes to a piping bag fitted with a star tip. This will help create a neat and professional-looking presentation.
