Three Fish Mousse
- 1 lb. cod or similar white fish, skinned
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 slice lemon
- 6 black peppercorns
- 14 oz. thinly sliced smoked salmon
- 0.4 oz. sachet gelatin
- 6 oz. cooked prawns, chopped roughly
- 1/2 pt. sour cream
- 8 oz. low-fat cream cheese
- 2 Tbsp. chopped fresh dill
- juice of 1 lemon
- 3 drops Tabasco sauce
- salt and pepper
- sprigs of dill to garnish
- This dish is a marvelous first course, although a little goes a long way.
- To begin, lightly oil a 2-quart ring mold.
- Next, place the cod, bay leaf, lemon and peppercorns in a deep frying pan.
- Cover with water and poach for about 25 minutes, or until the fish flakes.
- Remove fish from stock and allow to cool.
- Flake the fish.
- Liberally line the ring mold with the smoked salmon, making certain that every slice overlaps a little with the next and that plenty is left to hang over the outer and inner edges of the mold.
- Put 4 tablespoons of water into a saucepan.
- Sprinkle the gelatin into the water and let the water completely absorb the granules.
