Smoked Salmon Cucumber Mousse D'oeuvres Recipe

Friday, March 27th, 2009

These d’oeuvres are easy to make and loved by all, so make extras!

Ingredients:

  • 4 oz smoked salmon, diced
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh dill
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
  • 3 tablespoons heavy cream, chilled
  • 4 thin slices pumpernickel bread
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 English (hothouse) cucumber
  • Fresh dill sprigs

Procedure:

  • Using a metal blade, place the smoked salmon into your food processor blend until relatively smooth.
  • Add the mayonnaise and sour cream and continue to blend until the mixture is as smooth.
  • Add the chopped dill and pepper during the final few seconds.
  • Transfer your mixture to a bowl.
  • Cover and refrigerate.
  • Place the cream in a chilled bowl and whisk until soft peaks form.
  • Remove the salmon mixture from the refrigerator and, using a rubber spatula, gently fold in the whipped cream.
  • Preheat a broiler.
  • Using a pastry brush, lightly brush both sides of each bread slice with the melted butter. Arrange the bread slices on a baking sheet and place under the broiler. Toast, turning once, until golden brown on both sides, about 30 seconds on each side.
  • Remove from the broiler.
  • Using a round cutter the same diameter as the cucumber, cut out 4 rounds from each bread slice.

Presentation:

Cut the cucumber crosswise into 48 thin slices. Place the rounds of toasted bread on a work surface and put a small spot of the chilled salmon mousse on each–just enough to hold a cucumber slice in place on the bread. Now place a slice of the cucumber on each bread slice and press it gently. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the mousse onto the center of the cucumber slice, top with another cucumber slice, then repeat the process again so that there are 3 cucumber slices sandwiching 2 layers of mousse. Repeat this for the remaining toasts.

Decorate each sandwich with a small dollop of the mousse and a dill sprig and transfer to a platter and serve immediately.
