418 g Canned pink Alaska salmon
15 g Gelatine
50 g Smoked salmon
-- finely chopped
1 1/2 ts Minced fresh root ginger
150 ml Greek strained yogurt
175 g Curd cheese or Quark
2 Egg whites
2 lg Grapefruits
1 tb Walnut oil
2 tb Grapefruit juice
Mixed colored salad leaves
Avocado for garnish
Drain the can of salmon. Heat the juice to almost boiling then sprinkle
over the gelatine. Stir gently until completely dissolved.
Mash the two types of salmon into a bowl and beat in the yogurt, cheese
and 1 teaspoon of the ginger. Stir in the dissolved gelatine and cool
until the mixture is just beginning to set. Whisk the egg whites until
they form stiff peaks. Fold these into the salmon mixture then pour into
a single 900ml / 1 1/2 pint fish mold or two 450ml / 3/4 pint moulds.
Put into a refrigerator and leave until completely set.
Peel the grapefruits and remove the pith from around each segment. Put
the segments into a bowl along with the remaining ginger, walnut oil and
grapefruit juice. Mix well and allow to stand for about 1 hour to
marinade. Arrange the salad leaves and avocado on serving plates and
very carefully turn the mousse out onto them. Just before serving,
arrange the marinaded grapefruit segments onto the salad and sprinkle
the juices over.
Cook's Note: To turn out the mousses more easily, first dip the moulds
into hot water to loosen the sides then invert them onto the serving
plates. Pick up the plates and very gently shake from side to side. The
mousses should drop out.
Serves 8-10. Approx. 130 kcals per serving
