4 None green onions, white parts only, chopped
2 tbsp snipped fresh chives, plus additional, for garnish

1
Lightly grease four 1/2-cup ramekins or molds. Cut one-third of smoked salmon into very thin strips. Set aside. Place remaining salmon in a food processor and add creme fraiche, butter and lemon peel. Pulse until coarsely chopped and well combined. Transfer to a bowl. Mix in lemon juice, onions and chives.
2
Place reserved salmon strips in bottom of prepared ramekins. Top with creme fraiche mixture, pressing down lightly to remove any air pockets. Smooth surface. Cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 1 hour, or until ready to serve.

Divide cucumber ribbons among serving plates. Drizzle with oil and season with black pepper. Carefully run a knife around inside edge of each rillette, to release from sides. Turn out onto serving plates. Garnish with additional chives. Serve with toasted baguette and cornichons.
