Photo: Smoked Salmon Mousse in Cucumber Boats Recipe
Ingredients
- 3/4 pound smoked salmon
- 8 ounces soft cream cheese
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 3 tablespoons heavy cream or half-and-half
- 2 English cucumbers
- 2 tablespoons freshly chopped dill
Directions
In food processor, chop up salmon into a paste. Add cream cheese, salt and pepper, and heavy cream to make a mixture loose enough to pipe out into cucumber boats. Peel cucumbers and halve lengthwise. Slice cucumbers into 2-inch lengths. Use melon baller to scoop out the cucumber to make into small boat-shapes. Spoon salmon mixture into pastry bag fitted with a star tip, and pipe mixture into each cucumber "boat." Garnish with fresh dill.

Appetizers are usually the bane of my existence when planning a dinner party -- most recipes are disproportionately time consuming to prepare, way too filling, and generally distract from the main course. But this is a TERRIFIC appetizer!!! Simple to make, not too filling, and can be prepared in advance -- of course, keep refrigerated. No need to scoop out the cucumbers -- just pipe onto cucumber slices, fill cherry tomatoes, use decorative piping on crackers, or even hard boiled eggs, with or without yolks. Garnish with a dab of red or black caviar, or alternate -- one red, one black -- it makes a beautiful platter. EXCELLENT -- Bravo!!!

I've tried this recipe and it was very good. Instead of using cucumbers I hollowed out cherry tomatoes and piped this into them. Very tasty

I love this recipe. I didn't use the melon baller to scoop out the middle, I just made the design on top and it worked out fine. My husband loved them too!
