Salmon Mousse Recipe

Posted on 18. Mar, 2010 by admin in Seafood

This recipe is so easy to make and present the dish well. We used fish mold for this recipe then you may choose from packing it in with sliced olives or celery along the top. You can also add in a pack of gelatin to let the mixture set well in the mold. Presentation is not much a requirement once you have tasted the finished product.

INGREDIENTS      

    * 1 lb freshly cooked or canned boneless salmon
    * 1/2 cup diced celery
    * 1/2 cup diced green pepper
    * 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
    * 3 Tbsp chopped fresh dill
    * 1/2 cup mayonnaise
    * 1/2 cup plain yogurt
    * 1 8 oz package of cream cheese
    * 1 can concentrated tomato soup

    * Tabasco sauce
    * Juice of half a lemon
    * 1/2 cup cold water
    * 2 teaspoons (1 envelope) unflavored, unsweetened gelatin
    * One greased or stick-free 6 cup mold

DIRECTIONS      

  • Combine salmon, celery, green pepper, onion, dill, mayonnaise, yogurt and lemon juice in a bowl.
  • Melt cream cheese in a saucepan then mix in tomato soup. Cook over low heat and stir often until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Put a dash of Tabasco sauce, cream cheese and tomato soup mixture in a salmon mixture. Combine well.
  • In a small pot, pour cold water and mix in the gelatin. Heat water and gelatin slowly until gelatin has dissolved. Once the gelatin has dissolved pour it over the salmon mixture and mix. After mixing pour the mixture onto a mold and place it in the refrigerator for 6 hours.
  • To remove mixture from mold, let mold float in a bowl of hot water. Once loose or only for a few seconds, invert mold onto a serving dish then refrigerate until ready to serve. 
  • Put salmon mousse with sliced avocados, celery sticks, lettuce leaves, tomatoes, olives, slices of baguette, and/or crackers. Serve.
