Steps:
- Heat the oil in a saute pan and gently cook the salmon, leaving the pieces slightly pink in the center, about 5 minutes. Cool. In a food processor or using two forks, shred the salmon and mix with the butter. Add the creme fraiche, shallot and tarragon. Season the mixture with salt, pepper and lemon juice.

FRESH & SMOKED SALMON RILLETTES
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

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.

Tips:
- Choose the right salmon. Fresh or frozen salmon can be used for this recipe, but it is important to make sure that it is of good quality. Look for salmon that is firm and has a vibrant color.
- Smoke the salmon properly. To get the best flavor, smoke the salmon according to the instructions in the recipe. This will help to develop a rich, smoky flavor.
- Use high-quality ingredients. The other ingredients in this recipe, such as the cream, butter, and herbs, should also be of good quality. This will help to ensure that the rillettes are delicious.
- Be patient. The rillettes need to be chilled for at least 4 hours before they are ready to serve. This will help the flavors to develop and meld together.
Conclusion:
Smoked salmon rillettes are a delicious and versatile appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. They can be served on rye toasts, crackers, or crostini. They can also be used as a filling for sandwiches or wraps. The rillettes are easy to make and can be made ahead of time, making them a great option for busy cooks.
