step 1
Cook the shallots in all of the butter, but don’t let them brown. Add the salmon fillet and lemon zest and cook for 3 minutes, or until the salmon is just cooked, turning the pieces in the butter. Roughly fork through the cooked salmon to break it up and then add the remaining ingredients and season.
step 2
Fold thoroughly and spoon into individual Kilner jars or ramekins. Level the tops and chill. Remove from the fridge 15 minutes before serving. You can make it up to 2 days ahead.
