Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Place fish in a sauté pan or a skillet. Pour vinegar and wine over, bring to a simmer and remove from heat. Allow to cool to room temperature.

  2. Step 2

    When fish is cooled, remove to a cutting board and peel off skin. Discard liquid. Place fish in a bowl, breaking it up with a fork. Add mustard, lemon juice and butter and mix. Add chives, cilantro and salt and pepper. Fold in wasabi.

  3. Step 3

    To serve, pile rillettes in a serving dish and, if desired, spread tobiko over the top. Or fashion mounds on plates. Garnish with toast. Serve as an hors d'oeuvre or a first course.
