2. Take skin and bones off the salmon fillets; crumble them roughly.
3. Peel the potato, crumble it roughly.
4. In an processor, put the salmon, potato, cream, lemon juice, mustard, the 3 teaspoons of capers, salt and pepper.
5. Mix the whole for at least 2 minutes. Taste the mixture and adjust seasoning.
6. Pour in a mould and leave in the fridge for at least 3 hours. Ideally make it half a day before serving.

This one gets 2 stars for the canned Salmon version. Since I didn't have any fresh salmon on hand I tried this using canned salmon. My husband, who is NOT at all picky, will try anything and never refused to eat anything I've made for him - spit this out. It fared no better at the luncheon I took it to. Many of the 50+ women who attended put it on their plates, and almost no one ate it. I thought it was sort of strong and fishy myself, and I adore Salmon. So I recommend NOT using canned Salmon.

Excellent mousse!!! I loved it, so refesing and tasty. I love capers so I added some more and I also garnish some of it with some fresh dill. Lovely. I served half with crackers and the other half as a wrap on tortillas as a lunch. So good, thanks Sage! Made it for ZWT3.

A great idea for an apetizer or a surprising snack. You can make it for a large number of guests and it will be a hit on your party, because of the combination of salmon, capers and potatoes. The lemon add just the tart notes this dish requires. I served it on toasted bread and it was a fantastic finger food.
