Salmon Mousse


This easy salmon mousse is one of those recipes you’ll keep coming back to. It’s fresh, creamy, and preparation in under ten minutes—perfect for the holidays, a make ahead dinner-party appetizer, or an effortless addition to a snack board.

Made with smoked salmon or cooked salmon, cream cheese, and fresh herbs, it’s a simple classic that looks elegant but takes hardly any effort at all.

I recently made this for a dinner party at our friends’ “Barndaminium,” or, as many have affectionately dubbed it, “the Barndo!” It was a huge hit, and I made it with cooked salmon. If you prefer smoked salmon, that works beautifully too.

Serve it with crackers, crostini, cucumber slices, or your favorite vegetables for an easy appetizer that looks much more impressive than the effort it takes.
