A light but rich tasting spread made with fresh and smoked salmon. This is my adaptation of David Lebovitz's adaptation of Susan Loomis's salmon rillettes, a recipe that I have been wanting to make for years. A more buttery version is in Susan Loomis's wonderful book "Cooking at Home on Rue Tatin," and on David Lebovitz's eponymous website. David uses a mixture of steamed fresh salmon and smoked salmon, and I have followed suit, changing the proportions slightly. I used much less butter - 1 tablespoon, and a tablespoon each of olive oil and crème fraîche, as well as some Greek yogurt, and I still came up with a mixture that I can call rillettes. You can serve the spread with sliced bread or crackers, spoon onto endive leaves, cucumber rounds or squares of red and green pepper, or use as a filling for miniature bell peppers. You can also substitute these salmon rillettes for the smoked trout rillettes in the recipe for "Lentils With Smoked Trout Rillettes" from earlier this week. As always, use a fork, not a food processor, to make this.

The salmon ball may be served on a variety of toasts - Melba, rounds of French bread, or mini bagels. This is a quick and pretty presentation. From "Party Receipts" from the Charleston Junior League

Salmon lovers and those who like non-traditional cheese balls will enjoy this nice appetizer. Finely chopped nuts or parsley may be substituted for cracker crumbs. Great for cocktail parties, showers, and family get-togethers. You can roll the finished ball in finely crushed pecans, slivered almonds, or finely minced parsley as you wish.
