SALMON MOUSSE

SALMON MOUSSE

Steps:

• Combine the salmon mixture and gelatin: Add the dissolved gelatin to the salmon mixture and mix well.
• Chill: Pour the mixture into a decorative mold or into serving bowls and refrigerate for 6 hours, or until firm.
• Unmold: If using a decorative mold, unmold the salmon mousse by placing the bottom of the mold in hot water for a few seconds and turn the mold over onto a large serving dish to release the mousse. The surface of the mousse may appear a bit ragged. If you cover with plastic wrap and re-chill in the refrigerator, it should become smoother. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Serve salmon mousse with sliced avocados, celery sticks, lettuce leaves, tomatoes, olives, slices of baguette, and/or crackers.
