Lightly Salted Salmon Mousse
Description
It works both for special occasions and for everyday meals. If you like, you can sprinkle finely chopped fresh dill into the prepared mousse made from lightly salted salmon and mix it through if you enjoy those kinds of flavor combinations. The dish can be chilled in the refrigerator before serving. Sliced salmon is sold in any supermarket. It can be served warm or chilled.

Step 3
Add salt and ground black pepper, pour in lemon juice and boiled cold water, and add slices of red fish. If possible, dice the salmon into small cubes—it will be faster to grind and combine the ingredients. Water must be added, as without it the mixture will be too thick and will not purée properly.
