Salty smoked salmon blended into a creamy mousse and spiced up with watercress, herbs and lemon. A delicious savory high tea sandwich recipe.
Almost every high tea has a recipe with fish. And what could be better than a nice smoked salmon. Smoked salmon is good to come by (always nice when shopping) and has a delicious salty taste. By processing into a creamy mousse, it is easily processed into a sandwich. You season the mousse with watercress, herbs and lemon.
Preparation
1 day in advance
- Make the salmon mousse and keep it covered in the refrigerator until use
In the morning
