In today’s column, Conrad gives us his recipe for the best selling dish – the Salmon Rillette

 

Ingredients

3 cups dry white wine

1 pound fresh salmon fillet (preferably wild), cut into 1-inch pieces

3 ounces smoked salmon, cut into 1/4″ pieces

1 poached quail egg

1/2 cup (or more) Aioli

15gr chopped red onion

15gr chopped gherkin

15gr chopped capers

15gr chopped dill

2 tablespoon thinly sliced fresh chives

1 tablespoon (or more) fresh lemon juice

Fine sea salt and freshly ground white pepper

2 slices sourdough, thinly sliced, toasted

 

  • Bring wine to the boil in a small saucepan over high heat and add fresh salmon. Gently poach until salmon is barely opaque in center, about 5 minutes.
  • Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Place salmon in a large bowl, cover and chill until completely cooled.
  • Add the smoked salmon, 1/2 cup aioli, chives, and 1 tbsp. lemon juice to the cooked salmon. Gently mix just to combine (salmon will break up a little, but do not over mix or a paste will form). Season to taste with salt, pepper, and more aioli and lemon juice, if desired to do in advance, Rillettes can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.
  • Serve with a poached quail egg, crispy sourdough toast and watercress, lemon, gherkin, capers, dill & red onion.

 

Bon Appetite!
