SMOKED-SALMON MOUSSE WITH BLACK- BREAD TOASTS AND SALMON CAVIAR
Steps:
- Puree the salmon in a food processor while slowly adding the softened butter and creme fraiche.
- When these ingredients are combined, add the herbs and lemon juice and freshly ground pepper to taste, or about four grinds of the pepper mill. Remove the mixture from the processor, place it in a bowl and refrigerate for 15 minutes before serving. The mousse will harden quickly in the refrigerator, so remove it as soon as it will hold its shape but is still spreadable.
- Cut the black bread into small triangles, rectangles or circles and toast at 350 degrees until dry on both sides. When the toast is cool, top each piece with a dollop of mousse. Garnish with salmon caviar and a sprig of dill.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place the bread pieces on a baking sheet and bake until lightly toasted but still soft in the center. Meanwhile, whisk together the crème fraîche, 1 tablespoon horseradish and chives in a small bowl. Add more horseradish and salt to taste. Cut the salmon into strips (2 inches by 1 inch) or squares, so that you have the same number as triangles of bread.
- Place toasts on a serving platter. Spoon a little horseradish cream on each piece. Lay a piece of salmon on top in delicate folds. Sprinkle pepper over the salmon and serve.
