Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Base

    In a medium bowl, combine the smoked salmon, cream cheese, and unsalted butter. Use a fork to break apart the salmon and mix everything together until well combined.

  2. 2

    Add Flavorings

    Stir in the lemon juice, capers, fresh dill, salt, and black pepper. Mix until all ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the salmon mixture.

  3. 3

    Chill the Rillette

    Transfer the mixture into a serving dish or an airtight container. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the rillette to firm up.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Once chilled, serve the smoked salmon rillette with toasted bread, crackers, or vegetable sticks. Enjoy it as a spread or dip.
