How to Prepare Salmon Mousse with Silver Palate
To prepare this delicious salmon mousse, begin by softening the gelatin in cold water in a large bowl.
Add the boiling water and whisk the mixture until the gelatin is completely dissolved.
Then let the preparation cool to continue with the next steps.
In another container, whisk the mayonnaise together with the lemon juice, the finely chopped onion, the Tabasco sauce, the sweet paprika, the salt, and the dill until you obtain a homogeneous mixture.
Stir well to integrate all the flavors in a balanced way.
Refrigerate this mixture until it begins to thicken slightly, which will take approximately 20 minutes.
Incorporate the fresh salmon with folding movements to maintain the airy texture.
In a separate bowl, whip the whipping cream until it thickens and then gently incorporate it into the salmon mixture.
Transfer the resulting mixture to a bowl or mold with a capacity of between 6 and 8 cups.
Cover the mold and refrigerate for at least 4 hours so the mousse acquires the ideal texture.
Finally, serve your salmon mousse accompanied by tostadas, dark bread, or crackers, ideal for sharing at gatherings or as an elegant starter.
