Samira’s Smoked Salmon Mousse with Leek Sauce

Instructions

1. Using a food processor, process all the mousse ingredients until creamy.
2. Pour mixture into buttered dish or in buttered ramekins. Place dish or ramekins in a larger dish containing water. Water should cover bottom half of dish or ramekins.
3. Bake in preheated oven (325°F) for 20 to 25 minutes.
4. Remove from oven, remove mousse from water and let cool at room temperature before placing in the refrigerator.
5. To make the leek sauce: heat butter in a medium size pot, add leek and sauté for a couple of minutes.
6. Add potatoes and water. Bring to boil, reduce heat and cook until potatoes are cooked. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature.
7. Using a blender or food processor, pure mixture until soft and creamy. Add cream and mix well. Cool at room temperature.
8. Serve with cold leek sauce, or with chopped fresh dill or lemon zest, along with bread or crackers.
   Note
   You can also put a layer of seafood in the middle of the mousse – simply layer thinly sliced salmon, scallops, or prawns across the top of half of the mixture, then cover with the rest of the mousse.
