If you are a fan of the classic pork rillettes, or even if you've never heard of them, this turn with salmon will delight you. Rillettes are usually meats cooked in highly seasoned fat, then pounded into a paste, placed in pots, and covered with fat to preserve them. It is much the same as a smooth confit. The use of both fresh and smoked salmon results in a lighter-tasting nibble, yet it still has that rich, wonderful mouthfeel of a rillette. For a cocktail party, these are perfect with just about any wine or spirit. Smoked salmon rillettes are also a surprising first course when served over greens. |
