This is my simplified version of what I have discovered can be a complicated dish. There's versions of it with gelatine and creme fraiche etc. I decided to make it more suitable for my needs, that is, a bit healthier.
Line a ramekin with a few slices of smoked salmon.
Mix the following together vigorously:
- A couple of tablespoons of light mayonnaise
- A couple of tablespoons of light cream cheese
- A couple of slices of finely chopped smoked salmon
- Finely chopped capers
- Tablespoon of lemon juice
- Pinch of sea salt and ground black pepper
Spoon the mixture onto the salmon slices, pressing it down firmly as you go. Then cover with the overlapping salmon.
Put in the fridge for a couple of hours and hey presto! A fairly decent, quick and easy Smoked Salmon Mousse.
This would be nice served as a lunch or light dinner with homemade melba toast or Irish soda bread. This would also make a really nice starter for a fancy pantsy dinner party, if you serve it with some peppery rocket salad and a couple of pieces of granary toast.
