French mousse de saumon


Ingredients for 8 people :

- 450 gr [1 lb] salmon fillets
- 5 Tbspoons sour cream
- the juice of 1 lemon
- 1 medium potatoe
- 3+1 teaspoons of capers
- 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard
- salt & pepper

Splendid recipe because extremely refined though really easy.
Other advantage : you can cook it one day ahead...

Recipe :

1- Cook the potatoe in salted water ; gently fry the salmon fillets in a pan.
2-Take skin & bones off the salmon fillets ; crumble them roughly. Peel the potatoe, crumble it roughly.
3- In an electric mixer with blade, put the salmon, potatoe, cream, lemon juice, mustard, the 3 teaspoons of capers, salt & pepper. Mix the whole for at least 2 minutes. Taste the mixture and adjust seasoning.
4- Pour in a fruitcake mould and leave in the fridge for at least 3 hours. Ideally make it half a day before serving.

Serve in ear dishes, on a bed of lettuce, making "balls" of mousse with a spoon. Sprinkle a few capers on it (left spoonfull).

TRICK : you can replace salmon fillets by canned salmon which still will give you a very good entrée with the most simple recipe (just mix everything)...
