How to make Scallop, Salmon, and Shrimp Terrin
Scallop, salmon, and shrimp terrine is a sophisticated dish, ideal for festive meals or special occasions. Its creamy texture and delicate flavors make it a perfect starter that will delight seafood lovers.
Ingredients
300g fresh salmon (skinless): Choose high-quality salmon to ensure texture and flavor.
200g cooked, peeled shrimp: Choose fresh shrimp for optimal flavor.
200ml heavy cream: This cream will give the terrine a rich, velvety texture.
3 eggs: These serve as a binder to maintain the terrine's texture.
The zest and juice of 1 lemon: To add freshness and balance the richness.
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill (or chives): For a hint of herbaceous aroma.
Salt and pepper: To season the mixture to taste.
Butter for the pan: To prevent the terrine from sticking to the pan.
Instruction
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). This will allow the terrine to cook evenly and achieve the perfect texture.
Step 2: Preparing the Pan
Butter a terrine pan or loaf pan to prevent the terrine from sticking. Make sure you use enough butter so that the terrine can be easily removed from the pan after baking.
Step 3: Preparing the Stuffing
Blending the Seafood: In a blender, add the scallops and chopped salmon. Blend until smooth. It's important not to overblend to avoid a smooth texture.
Adding the Eggs: Add the eggs one at a time, blending lightly after each addition to fully incorporate them into the mixture.
Adding the Cream: Stir in the crème fraîche, lemon zest and juice, and dill. Season with salt and pepper, then blend gently until smooth.
Step 4: Assembling the Terrine
First Layer: Pour one-third of the terrine mixture into the buttered mold.
Adding the Shrimp: Add a layer of whole shrimp. This will create a beautiful presentation and a burst of flavor with every bite.
Second layer: Cover with another third of the mixture, then add another layer of shrimp.
