500g (1.1 lbs) fresh salmon side, skinned
-
100g (3.53 oz) hay

Directions
- To cure the salmon, crush the coriander seeds using a mortar and pestle and combine with the salt, sugar and zest. Sprinkle a layer of the cure mix onto a tray and place the salmon on top of it. Cover the salmon with the remaining cure mix. Cover and place in the fridge for 2 hours. Remove the salmon from the tray and wash off any remaining cure very gently with cold water.
-
To smoke, wrap the salmon in muslin, tying lightly with twine. Dampen the muslin with cold water. Lay the hay inside a smoking cage and place the wrapped salmon in the middle, covered with additional hay. Close the cage and place over hot coals of the HUB™, HUB™II or FUSION™ Grill to ensure the hay catches alight. Once all the hay has burnt out, remove the smoking cage from the coals and place inside a large container. Cover with cling film and leave to stand for 20 minutes, repeating the entire smoking process for a stronger smoky flavour. Remove the salmon from muslin and slice with a sharp knife. Set aside in the fridge until needed.
- In the meantime, make the yuzu crème fraiche by mixing all the ingredients together in a bowl. Set aside in the fridge until needed.
-
To finish the rillette, place 100g (3.53 oz) of sliced smoked salmon into the bottom a ramekin and top with a tablespoon of yuzu crème fraiche. Serve with lightly grilled slices of sourdough bread.
