SMOKED SALMON MOUSSE CANAPéS RECIPE - (4.1/5)



Smoked Salmon Mousse Canapés Recipe - (4.1/5) image

Provided by á-2385

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 ounces hot or cold smoked salmon
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese
3 tablespoons half-and-half
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh tarragon
1 large English cucumber, cut into 30 (1/3-inch-thick) slices, or 30 small whole grain crackers
Garnishes: caviar, chopped fresh chives

Steps:

  • Place salmon in a food processor; pulse until finely chopped. Add cream cheese and next 4 ingredients, and process until creamy and fluffy. Add tarragon; pulse until evenly combined. Taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary. (Note: Add more half-and-half if necessary to achieve the desired texture for piping.) Pipe or dollop about 1 tablespoon salmon mousse onto each cucumber slice. Garnish, if desired.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling.
  • Fresh Ingredients: Always use the freshest ingredients possible for the best flavor and texture.
  • Properly Season Your Salmon: Don't be afraid to season your salmon generously with salt and pepper. This will help to bring out the natural flavor of the fish.
  • Don't Overcook the Salmon: Salmon is a delicate fish, so it's important to not overcook it. The ideal internal temperature for cooked salmon is 145°F (63°C).
  • Use Good Quality Bread: The bread you use for your canapés is important. Choose a bread that is sturdy enough to hold up to the toppings, but not too dense that it overpowers the salmon.
  • Get Creative with Your Toppings: There are endless possibilities when it comes to toppings for salmon canapés. Get creative and use your favorite ingredients.

Conclusion:

Salmon canapés are a delicious and elegant appetizer that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own personal taste. With a little creativity, you can create a truly unique and impressive dish that your guests will love.
