WHO ARE THE ORGANIC BUTCHERY?
Starting life as an organic farm in the heart of the West Country, The Organic Butchery is proudly founded on a long history of organic principles. We source the best quality organic grass-fed and wild meats, sustainable fish and organic free-range poultry from trusted local suppliers and like-minded brands to guarantee the highest standards of animal welfare and environmental stewardship. Our mission is to approach butchery with a whole-carcass perspective, to make the most of every animal that crosses our blocks, which means we offer you cuts that you will never see on the supermarket shelves.
WHAT IS ORGANIC SALMON?
We work with an award-winning producer of organic salmon based in Northern Ireland. They hold welfare and sustainability at the heart of their system, the fish are farmed in the chilly, fast-flowing waters of the Irish Sea. This makes them powerful and muscular, so their flesh is firm and well-textured.
Ingredients
For The Terrine
- 10 organic smoked salmon slices
- 250g organic hot-smoked salmon
- 125g full fat cream cheese
- ¼ lemon, juiced
- 100ml organic double cream
- 1 pinch of cayenne pepper
- 1 small handful of dill, chopped
- olive oil for greasing
- salt and pepper for seasoning
For The Horseradish Mousse
- 1 cup good quality mayonnaise
- ⅓ cup prepared Horseradish
- 1½ tsp worcestershire Sauce
- 2 tsp fresh lemon juice
- 2 tsp hot sauce, we like Franks
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ cup organic double cream
Method
1.Grease the inside of a small terrine dish with olive oil and line with cling film. Line the terrine dish with the smoked salmon slices so that they slightly overlap and come far enough up over the sides of the dish to cover the surface of the terrine when filled
2.To a food processor, flake the hot-smoked salmon, any trimmings leftover from lining the terrine dish, cream cheese and lemon juice and blitz into a smooth paste. Now add the double cream and cayenne and blitz again but be careful not to overwork
3.Taste the fish paste, season with salt and pepper to your taste, fold in the chopped dill and then transfer to the terrine dish. Fold the smoked salmon slices to cover the filling and cover with a sheet of cling film, chill in the fridge for 6 hours
4.Whilst the terrine is chilling, make the horseradish mouse, in a bowl whisk the mayonnaise, horseradish, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, hot sauce and salt
5.In a separate bowl, whip the double cream until it forms soft peaks, fold into the mayonnaise mixture and refrigerate until ready to serve
6.To serve the terrine, turn it out of the terrine dish, remove the cling film and slice into 4 portions, arrange on serving plates with a generous dollop of horseradish mousse and toast

Frequently asked questions

At Coombe Farm Organic we work with JCS fish who supply our organic salmon. JCS fish are one of the UK’s only suppliers of organic salmon production, certified by the Organic Food Federation. We are proud to work with JCS fish as we believe their organic salmon is something very special. The salmon is reared in Spring which mimics an Atlantic salmon’s natural reproductive cycle. The salmon are fed an approved organic feed which is GMO free, with only natural pigments used in the organic salmon feed, resulting in a slightly paler flesh, in comparison to conventionally farmed salmon whose feed have been manipulated to enhance their pink flesh colour. Space is essential in any organic farming system and these salmon are no exception, being given the freedom to move and grow, the space is double that of conventional fish farming systems. This space paired with clean saltwater with a strong flow ensures the salmon grow lean and strong, resulting in a better tasting fish.

When you buy organic salmon, you are buying salmon that has come from a trusted source, with the highest welfare standards at the heart of its production. Organic salmon production is regulated to ensure lower stocking densities, conditions that mimic nature as closely as possible and that fed is GMO free. We believe organic salmon is a better tasting fish as a result of the organic condition in which it was produced, but don’t just take our word for it, try it for yourself.
