Number Of Ingredients 12

3 cups water
1 pound skinless fresh salmon fillet
1 pound smoked salmon, chopped fine

I'm not a big fan of salmon, but I really enjoyed these rillettes. They were creamy and flavorful, and the smoked salmon added a nice depth of flavor.

The rillettes were a little bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more herbs and spices next time.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover salmon. I usually make a big batch and then freeze it for later.

I had some trouble finding smoked salmon, so I used regular salmon instead. The rillettes still turned out great!

The salmon rillettes were a bit too salty for my taste, but overall they were still tasty.
