Ingredients

For the Smoked Salmon Mousse

150 g smoked salmon or smoked trout
150 g Cream Cheese softened
2 tbsp sour cream omit if using spreadable cream cheese
2 tbsp mayonnaise
1/3 cup fresh dill roughly chopped, or chives
1 garlic clove minced
2 tsp lemon zest from 1 lemon
2 tbsp lemon juice
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper

For the Cucumber

3 long cucumbers or 6 standard cucumbers

For Garnish

extra dill sprigs
lemon slices for serving

Equipment

Food processor
Piping bag
Star tip nozzle
melon baller
Teaspoon

Method

Place all ingredients for the Smoked Salmon Mousse in a food processor. Process until completely smooth, scraping down the sides as needed.
Fit a piping bag with a wide star tip nozzle (1.5-2cm / 0.6 - 0.75" wide). Transfer the mousse into the piping bag. Refrigerate for at least 5 hours, or until firmed.
Cut the cucumbers into 1.5cm (0.6") thick slices.
Use a small melon baller or teaspoon to scoop a well out of the center of each cucumber slice.
Pipe the chilled mousse into the wells of the cucumber slices. Top with extra dill sprigs and serve immediately with lemon slices.

Notes

The mousse can be prepared up to 3 days in advance and stored in the piping bag in the refrigerator. Cut and prepare the cucumber slices just before assembling. The assembled bites are best served within 30-45 minutes, as the cucumber can start to release water.
