Professional Step-by-Step Preparation

  1. Preparation of the leeks: Clean and slice the leeks thinly. Sauté them in a pan with the olive oil over low heat until very tender but not browned. Drain off any excess oil well.

  2. Preparation of the fish: Cut the salmon and hake into small cubes. Make sure there are no bones left.

  3. Base mixture: In a large bowl, beat the eggs together with the light cream. Add the poached leek, white pepper, chopped fresh dill, and the teaspoon of Bonsalt .

  4. Assembly: Grease a rectangular mold (loaf pan style) with a little butter or oil.

    • You can mix all the fish with the egg and leek cream.

    • Gourmet option: Place a layer of hake cream on the bottom, a middle layer of salmon cubes, and finish with the rest of the hake for a striking two-tone cut.

  5. Water bath cooking: Cover the mold with aluminum foil. Place it inside a baking tray filled with water (up to halfway up the mold). Bake at 180°C for 45-50 minutes.

  6. Check: Pierce it with a skewer; if it comes out clean, the terrine is ready.

  7. Cooling and unmolding: Let cool to room temperature and then refrigerate for at least 4 hours before unmolding. This is key for the texture to set and not break when sliced.

Nutritionist's Tips

This terrine is an excellent way to eat both oily and white fish in a balanced way. The salmon provides essential fats that protect the brain, while the hake offers a very lean protein base. By using Bonsalt , we turn a dish that is usually salty in industrial versions into a completely heart-healthy option. Serve it with a green salad or a light yogurt and dill sauce for a complete menu.

It's the perfect recipe to enjoy a gourmet, healthy, and balanced dish with your friends or family!
