12 Mar smoked salmon mousse

Posted at 16:18h in breakfast, lunch, recipes by

My smooth smoked salmon mousse is fabulously simple and fast to make. Although it’s not quite a full supper in itself, a pot of it will see you through St Patrick’s weekend by making a wonderful addition to a platter of Irish cheeses, crackers and charcuterie.

Prep Time: 5 Minutes

Ingredients

100g of smoked salmon

150g of cream cheese

Zest of lemon

Salt

Pepper

Fresh dill, to serve (optional)

Method

  1. Roughly chop the smoked salmon and add to your food processor.
  1. Spoon in 150g (or thereabouts) of cream cheese.
  1. Add the zest of a lemon and a squeeze of its juice.
  1. Season well with a good pinch of salt and pepper.
  1. Whizz in the food processor until wonderfully smooth. If you don’t have a food processor, you can make a more textured version by finely chopping the smoked salmon and mixing it with the other ingredients by hand.
  1. Serve the salmon mousse on brown bread, toasted sourdough or crackers with some fresh dill as a garnish.
