Smoked Salmon Mousse
- 3 sticks unsalted butter
- 1 pound smoked Norwegian or Scottish salmon, not too salty, cut into inch cubes
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- Juice of 1/2 lemon
- 1 tablespoon chives, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon dill, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon parsley, finely chopped
- Cut the butter into cubes and melt it in a saucepan over low heat.
- Remove from the heat and set aside for a few minutes to cool and to allow the milky solids to sink to the bottom.
- Carefully pour off the oily part, or clarified butter, leaving the milky solids behind.
- Let the clarified butter cool to room temperature.
- In 2 or three batches, put the salmon cubes, clarified butter, and cream in the bowl of a food processor, and puree until fluffy and completely smooth.
- Transfer the salmon puree to a large bowl and stir in the herbs and lemon juice to taste.
- Chill before serving.
