Description

This elegant salmon mousse offers a delicate balance of savory fish and aromatic anise from the Pernod. The texture is incredibly smooth and airy, achieved by folding whipped egg white and heavy cream into a pureed salmon base. It serves as a perfect appetizer or light main course for dinner parties. The addition of cognac adds depth, while the caviar provides a luxurious salty finish. Ideal for special occasions where presentation and flavor are paramount.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Puree the salmon filet in a food processor until completely smooth.
  2. Transfer the salmon puree to a stainless steel bowl set over ice to chill and firm up.
  3. Add the egg white to the chilled salmon and whip vigorously with a spatula to incorporate air.
  4. While continuing to whip, gradually fold in the heavy cream until the mixture reaches a smooth, mousse-like consistency.
  5. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Gently fold in the Pernod, cognac, and caviar.
  7. Transfer the mixture into a piping bag or tube for serving.
