Favorite recipe for smoked salmon mousse?

I looked at a few online, and most of them seem to just blitz the salmon with cream cheese, lemon, dill, etc.

I was hoping for a very light, airy texture and assumed this would be achieved with (also?) using whipped cream.

Any winners, plz share :slight_smile:

I saw such a recipe a while back, except that it has you freeze the mixture after, and serve is as smoked salmon ice cream. I mentioned it to a few people, and it grossed them out! :rofl: Loved it! It was great-tasting!

As I’m taking this to an annual Festivus party hosted by a friend, I would prefer the appetizer over the dessert version :wink:

It IS an appetizer!:face_with_peeking_eye:

I have been making the Silver Palate salmon mousse for more years than I care to admit to. It has a light, airy texture from whipped cream as you envisioned. I use one pound of fresh salmon, poached, and 4 oz of good smoked salmon, cubed small, but I’m sure you could change the proportions to your taste. I chill it in my German grandmother’s old ceramic fish mold. It never fails to be demolished at parties. I usually keep back a small ramekin for myself for the next night. :slight_smile:

That is absolutely PERFECT! Thank you! I have a whole pound of smoked salmon I plan on using, and this is exactly what I was looking for :pray:t3: :kissing_heart:

Uh - I can’t believe my reply ^ has been sitting here for 5 days!!!

I just came back to ask how you serve the finished product, since there are no pics on the site you linked. No fancy fish mold here, unfortunately, but hopefully a glass bowl will do the trick :grimacing:

A glass bowl will be perfect. What will you serve with it?

I sent my PIC off to buy crackers. I will likely add more dill than the recipe calls for bc I love it.

If I could proper pumpernickel around these parts (I might check Aldi, actually!) I would serve it with that.

The finished product. It was snarfed up, so I’d say it was a success :slight_smile:

So pretty with the dill and trout roe!!

Yes, looks like a huge success! That’s why I always keep back a little ramekin for myself! :wink:
