Salmon rillettes, a classic French dish, originated in the Loire Valley. This delectable spread is made by slow-cooking salmon in seasoned butter until it's tender and flaky, then blending it with herbs, spices, and sometimes a touch of cream. Renowned chefs like Alain Passard and Daniel Boulud have put their own spin on this dish, elevating it to gourmet status. Today, the best salmon rillettes can be found in Parisian bistros and upscale seafood restaurants. The key to perfect rillettes lies in using high-quality salmon, balancing the seasoning, and achieving the ideal creamy texture. For a twist, some chefs incorporate smoked salmon for a richer flavor profile.
