Method

Smoked Salmon Rillette

  1. 1

    Prepare the Salmon Mixture

    In a mixing bowl, combine the smoked salmon, cream cheese, crème fraîche, chopped dill, lemon juice, black pepper, and salt. Mix until the ingredients are well incorporated, and the mixture is creamy.

  2. 2

    Chill the Rillette

    Transfer the smoked salmon rillette to a serving dish, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Orange Marmalade

  1. 3

    Serve the Marmalade

    Simply place the orange marmalade in a small serving bowl to accompany the smoked salmon rillette.

Ramp Pickled Turnip

  1. 4

    Pickle the Turnips

    In a saucepan, combine water, apple cider vinegar, sugar, and salt. Bring to a boil, then add the thinly sliced turnips and chopped ramp leaves. Remove from heat and let cool before transferring to a jar. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.

Rye Fennel-Pollen Crackers

  1. 5

    Make the Dough

    In a mixing bowl, combine rye flour, fennel pollen, and salt. Gradually add water and olive oil, mixing until a dough forms.

  2. 6

    Roll Out and Cut Crackers

    Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/8 inch thick. Cut into desired cracker shapes and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  3. 7

    Bake the Crackers

    Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the edges are golden and crispy. Allow to cool before serving.
