Chinese Salmon Mousse

Instructions

1

Prepare Salmon Mixture

Mix the baked salmon, diced celery, diced green pepper, onion, dill, mayonnaise, yoghurt and lemon juice in a large bowl until well combined.

2

Create Cream Base

Melt the cream cheese in a saucepan. Add tomato puree and Siracha chilli sauce, stirring continuously until smooth and creamy before combining into the salmon mixture.

3

Prepare Gelatin

Stir the gelatin into cold water until softened. Heat gently until dissolved but do not boil, otherwise the mousse may not set properly.

4

Combine & Chill

Pour the dissolved gelatin into the salmon mixture and mix well. Chill in a mould or loaf tin for 6 hours until firm.

5

Serve

To release the mousse, dip the bottom of the mould briefly into hot water and turn onto a serving dish.

Serving Suggestion

Serve chilled as an appetiser or light starter dish.

The mousse pairs beautifully with fresh salad, crackers, or toasted bread for an elegant presentation.
