Let’s get this out of the way upfront: I know calling a cookie recipe the “world’s easiest” sounds a bit ridiculous, but I can explain. The name started out innocently enough — one day, I created an easy-to-make almond cookie recipe. I adored this recipe.

Sure, it may sound fancy, but rillettes is far from it. The spread, made from smoked salmon and plenty of butter, is a rich treat enjoyed on bread or crackers, and it’s surprisingly simple to make. Plus, it keeps well for up to two weeks in the fridge, which means it’s a good item to have on hand all holiday season long for an easy appetizer when friends and family drop in.
