Provided by Eric Greenspan

Categories     appetizer

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound smoked salmon
1/2 cup extra-virginolive oil, plus more as needed
15 to 20 heirloom cherry tomatoes in assorted colors, halved
1 cucumber, finely diced
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon drained capers
1 lemon, juiced
1/2 loaf crusty rye bread, sliced and cut into crostini
4 bunches scallions, chopped
2 ounces vodka
1 pound cream cheese, at room temperature
Parsley or celery leaves, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Combine the smoked salmon and 1/2 cup olive oil in a food processor and process until the mixture is spreadable. Transfer to a pastry bag (or resealable plastic bag with a corner snipped) and divide the salmon rillette equally among four 8-ounce mason jars. Set aside and wipe out the food processor.
  • Combine the tomatoes, cucumbers, red onion and capers in a medium bowl. Add the lemon juice and a drizzle of olive oil and stir to combine. Top the rillettes with the tomato mixture to fill the jars.
  • Brush the crostini with olive oil, transfer to a rimmed baking sheet and bake until golden and toasted, about 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, lightly coat a large skillet with olive oil and heat over high heat. Add the scallions and cook, stirring, until translucent. Add the vodka and cook, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon, until the skillet is almost dry.
  • Transfer the scallions to a food processor, add the cream cheese and process until fully incorporated. Spread the scallion cream cheese on the crostini, sprinkle the rillettes with parsley and serve.

FRESH & SMOKED SALMON RILLETTES



Fresh & smoked salmon rillettes image

A simple starter, fresh and rich, that makes a bit more of a pack of smoked salmon - serve instead of pâté on rye or piled into chicory leaves

Provided by Diana Henry

Categories     Starter

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 16

150ml vermouth
½ onion , sliced
2 tbsp lemon juice , plus a squeeze
small bunch parsley , stalks only (use the leaves below)
8 black peppercorns
280g salmon fillet
125g smoked salmon , cut into small shreds
30g butter , melted
1 tbsp chopped chervil (or chives if you can't get chervil)
rye bread and chicory leaves, to serve (optional)
200g crème fraîche
2 tbsp finely chopped parsley and chives
2 tbsp capers , rinsed of salt or brine
1 small shallot , finely chopped
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
lemon juice , to taste

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



Salmon Rillettes image

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.

Time 20m

Yield 1 3/4 cups, serving 8 generously

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 6-ounce salmon fillet, bones removed
Salt and freshly ground pepper
5 ounces smoked salmon, cut into thin strips, then into 1/4-inch pieces
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
4 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon crème fraîche (or omit and use 5 tablespoons yogurt)
1 1-2 to 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons chopped chives

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.
