1 envelopes unflavored gelatin (about 2 tablespoons)

1/2 cup cold water

2 oz chopped white onion

1/2 oz chopped fresh dill (rinse and spin dry before chopping) or 1 teaspoon dried dill

1 oz fresh lemon juice

1 1/4 lb fresh salmon fillets, sauted in white wine and crumbled

4-ounce jar horseradish

4 oz mayonnaise

1 cup sour cream

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon paprika

8 oz salmon roe

2 boxes water crackers

 

 

In a saucepan sprinkle gelatin over water and let soften 1 minute.  Gently heat mixture over moderately low heat, stirring until gelatin dissolves (do not let boil).  In a food processor purée onion.  Add gelatin mixture and all remaining ingredients except salmon roe and crackers and purée until smooth. 

 

Lightly oil a baking pan (loosely 12x24”) and spread mousse evenly in pan.  Chill mousse, covered, at least 12 hours and up to 4 days. 

 

Just before serving, run a thin knife around edges of pan and dip terrine or loaf pan in hot water 5 to 10 seconds.  Cut mousse into 1 1/4” squares.  Use fork to place squares on crackers.  Top with salmon roe. 

 

Makes roughly 80 pieces.
