Classic French picnic starter, pronounced "ree-yet."
Ingredients:
  • 170g-piece skinless salmon fillet
  • 40g butter, at room temperature
  • 100g smoked salmon, coarsely chopped
  • 20.00 gm creme fraiche or sour cream
  • 2 tsp chopped fresh chives
  • 2 tsp chopped fresh dill
  • White pepper
  • French bread stick (baguette), toasted, to serve
  • Picked watercress sprigs, to serve
Instructions:
  • Gently poach the salmon in a frying pan filled with cold water over medium heat for 2 minutes. Allow it to cool in the flavorful poaching liquid, then transfer to a plate using a slotted spoon. Flake the salmon into small pieces.
  • Blend butter in a food processor until creamy. Incorporate flaked salmon, smoked salmon, and creme fraiche or sour cream until coarsely chopped. Add chives and dill, blend again. Season with salt and white pepper. Transfer to a 500ml (2-cup) jar, spread on bread, and garnish with watercress.
