Smoked White Fish Rillettes

What are rillettes, you ask? Rillettes are a traditional French spread similar to pâté usually using pork, duck or goose that is cooked, cooled and shredded. I thought it might be fun to create rillettes with smoked white fish, although this recipe is more of a chunky spread than a smooth pâté. I purchased a white fish fillet that had already been smoked. I then blended the shredded fish with crème fraîche, lemon zest, lemon juice, a generous amount of black pepper, and fresh chopped chives. Paired with cut veggies, crackers or crusty bread, this is a delectable and light appetizer or a simple lunch dish.
