Place fresh and smoked salmon in a food processor and chop briefly. Remove to a large bowl. No need to clean the food processor. Put in it 2 Tbsp of the creme fraiche, 2 Tbsp of the pepper jam, and all the ingredients down to (but not incuding) the butter and olive oil. Blend these ingredients together and then empty into the mixing bowl with the salmon. Mix well. Form the mixture into small flat cakes, about 2 TBSP in each. Heat oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Carefully place salon cakes in pan and saute until browned, about 4 to 5 minutes. Carefully flip cakes and cook on other side until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Brush the tops with t2 more Tbsp of the pepper jam as they finish cooking. Remove from pan to platter. Serve on fresh greens topped with the remaining 2 Tbsp crème fraiche mixed with the remaining 2 Tbsp pepper jam and chopped cucumber (if desired).
Ask a question about this stepFarmers markets are a great place to find locally made green pepper jams and jellies. A vendor at our North Union market in Cleveland, Ohio makes a 3-pepper jelly using chipotle peppers with red and green bell peppers. (The name of her business is Garden Vineyard Grove-Ltd.) Last summer I found a wonderful green chile jam or jelly at the
Village of Los Ranchos Growers Market in Albuquerque.
These look delicious, I have never seen pepper jam - but will have a look next time I am at the store.
I have seen green pepper jelly in the stores. But see if you can find a jamm The one I use is looser then jelly and has some of the pepper seeds in it.
