Lightly oil a serving platter with olive oil and then add ground black pepper. Line with thinly sliced smoke salmon before putting the completed mix in immediately after turning in the cream.

Light and delicious, a huge hit both times I made it! Thought it needed a little more depth so on my second try, I added a little extra Tabasco and used a seasoned salt. Served with thick-cut cucumbers as a low-cal alternative to crackers.

Fabulous! I use poached fresh salmon instead of canned, added a dash of smoked chipolte red pepper instead of Tabasco and sprinlked a bunch of capers on top.

I recentley traveled to England and had a Crab Mousse which I wanted to try and make. I used this recipe and subtituted crab meat for the Salmon. It turned out very good but just a little too Salty. I think next time I'll eliminate the salt and maybe even rinse the crab meat? I'm planning to make it the salmon next time.
