SMOKED SALMON RILLETTES
We've made this delectable and super simple salmon dip even easier by using smoked salmon in place of the more classic poached fish. A combination of whipped butter and crème fraîche makes it irresistibly creamy.

Steps:
- Pulse shallots, crème fraîche, and butter in a food processor until smooth. Add salmon and process until salmon is coarsely chopped and incorporated, about 15 seconds. Transfer to a medium bowl and stir in lemon zest, lemon juice, kosher salt, pepper, and 1/4 cup chives. Adjust seasonings to taste.
- Spread rillettes onto crackers, then top with chives and sea salt.
- Do ahead
- Rillettes can be made 3 days ahead; cover with plastic wrap, pressing directly on the surface, and chill. Bring to room temperature before serving.
Tips:
- To ensure even cooking, use uniform-sized salmon pieces.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when searing the salmon; this will prevent it from cooking evenly.
- If you don't have a smoker, you can use a stovetop smoker or even a smoker box on your grill.
- The shallot sauce can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to three days.
- Garnish the salmon bites with fresh herbs, such as dill or chives, for a pop of color and flavor.
