Ingredients

• 1.5 cups cooked salmon, flaked
• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 0.25 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice, freshly squeezed
• 1 packet gelatin powder
• 0.25 cup cold water
• 0.25 cup hot water
• 1 tablespoon fresh dill, finely chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon horseradish (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the gelatin by sprinkling 1 packet of gelatin powder over 1/4 cup of cold water in a small bowl. Let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom.

Step 2

After blooming, add 1/4 cup of hot water to the gelatin mixture and stir until fully dissolved. Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 3

In a food processor, combine the flaked cooked salmon, softened cream cheese, and heavy cream. Process until smooth and well-incorporated.

Step 4

Add the freshly squeezed lemon juice, chopped dill, salt, black pepper, and the optional horseradish (if using) to the processor. Pulse to combine.

Step 5

With the food processor running on low, slowly pour the dissolved gelatin mixture into the salmon mixture to ensure even distribution.

Step 6

Once fully blended, transfer the mousse mixture to a serving dish or individual ramekins, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 7

Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3-4 hours, or until set and chilled.

Step 8

Serve chilled with crackers, crusty bread, or vegetable sticks, garnished with additional dill if desired.
