Ingredients:
  • 1 large can (~ 420 gr net) of red salmon (not the cheap stuff)
  • 4 sheets of gelatin (~ 7 gr)
  • 20 cl mayonnaise
  • 125 ml (1/8 liter) sour cream or crême fraiche
  • 1 tablespoon dry white wine

  • 1 teaspoon fine mustard (not the yellow "hotdog" kind)
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped gherkins (or 1 tablespoon + 1 tablespoon capers)
  • Worcestershire sauce
  • cayenne pepper
  • salt
Instructions:

  • soak the gelatin in cold water for 5 minutes
  • dissolve the gelatin mass in 5 tablespoons of hot water (make sure you have no lumps), let cool
  • mix the mayonnaise with the sour cream, wine, lemon juice, mustard, gherkins, capers, worcestershire sauce, small pinch of cayenne pepper, pinch of salt
  • blend in the lukewarm gelatin
  • remove the skin & bones from the salmon
  • puree the salmon in blender or food processor
  • blend the salmon and the mayonnaise mix
  • rinse a mould (e.g, a small loaf pan) with cold water; you can also line the mold with plastic kitchen foil
  • put salmon mix in mould
  • put in refrigerator for 3 hours
