got this from Australia's greatest cook, Margaret Fulton, my mentor :) Great luncheon dish, or entree, also great for a party, served with crackers. I have made this as individual serves, (muffin size, using paper cups, great for picnics) and in a ring mould, putting the sauce in the centre. I sometimes add a few slices of smoked salmon, when it is on special :) cook time is refridgeration time

SALMON MOUSSE

Provided by Nancy Harmon Jenkins

Categories     appetizer

Time 20m

Yield 3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup milk
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus 1 1/4 sticks butter (6 ounces)
3 tablespoons flour
Salt to taste
Freshly ground white pepper to taste
Small pinch cayenne to taste
Approximately 1 pound cooked salmon (see accompanying recipe, but use half the amounts of the ingredients listed in it)
2 tablespoons heavy cream
3 tablespoons Cognac
30 small round ripe tomatoes (see note)
1 small jar of red salmon roe

Steps:

  • Scald milk and set aside. In a saucepan over low heat, melt 3 tablespoons butter. Add flour to melted butter and cook, stirring continuously with a wooden spoon, 2 to 3 minutes, until the mixture is very thick. Add the scalded milk, all at once, and beat with a wire whisk over low heat for 5 minutes more, until the bechamel is thick and smooth. Add salt, pepper and cayenne, remove from heat and set aside to cool until lukewarm.
  • Skin and bone salmon meat and flake with a fork. Cut remaining butter into chunks. Add salmon and butter to bechamel and mix well, using an electric beater rather than a blender or processor.
  • Add cream and Cognac to salmon mixture and blend thoroughly. Taste for seasoning, adding more salt, pepper or cayenne if necessary.
  • Refrigerate, covered, until the mixture has thickened sufficiently to allow piping through a pastry bag and tube - 2 to 3 hours, or overnight.
  • While the mixture is cooling, remove tops from tomatoes and scoop out flesh. Stand tomatoes upside down on a rack to drain. When the salmon mixture is ready, pipe it into the hollowed-out tomatoes and top with a few grains of red salmon roe. Extra mousse can be served in a bowl topped with more roe.

Tips:

  • For a smoother mousse, use a food processor or blender to combine the ingredients.
  • If you don't have a food processor or blender, you can mash the salmon and cream cheese together with a fork until smooth.
  • Be sure to use cold cream cheese and butter, as this will help the mousse to set properly.
  • If you want a more flavorful mousse, you can add some chopped fresh herbs, such as dill or chives.
  • You can also add a tablespoon of lemon juice or white wine to the mousse for a brighter flavor.
  • Serve the mousse immediately, or chill it for at least 30 minutes before serving.
