Halibut Rillette with Summer Herb Salad

By Chef Deniz Tarakcioglu

August 12th, 2021

Ingredients:

300g halibut filets
200mL sour cream
10mL espelette pepper
50mL cream cheese, soft
10mL fennel seeds, crushed
100mL diced fresh fennel
250mL assorted soft herbs (parsley, dill, green onions, mint, etc)
1 lemon, juice and zest
10mL smoked paprika
50mL capers, chopped
30mL dill pickles, finely chopped

Instructions:

Season the filets of halibut with salt and let them rest for a few minutes. Bring 500mL of water to a boil in a medium sized pot. When boiling, turn off the heat and put the halibut filets in. When the halibut softly flakes, put the filet out, flake the filet into a large chunk, and cool completely. In a medium bowl, mix the remaining ingredients and halibut together (excluding the herbs). Serve in ramekins, covered with fresh herbs, with crackers.
