AVOCADO AND SMOKED SALMON MOUSSE

Steps:

• Line a 4-cup round mold with plastic wrap.
• Lay about 1/3 of the salmon over the plastic wrap, overlapping each slice slightly and hanging the ends over the edge, to cover the mold.
• Chop the remaining salmon into 1/2-inch pieces and set aside.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine the cream cheese and sour cream until creamy and well combined.
• Add the hot pepper sauce and salt and stir well. In a small saucepan, heat the lemon juice over very low heat.
• Pour into a 1/2-cup ramekin and sprinkle with the gelatin, stirring until the gelatin is dissolved.
• Remove from the heat and stir into the cream cheese mixture.
• Fold in the chopped smoked salmon and scallions.
• Spoon 1/3 of the mousse into the mold, top with a layer of avocado slices, then gently spread with 1/2 the salmon roe.
• Spread 1/3 of the mousse on top of the roe, and top with the remaining avocado slices and roe.
• Spread the remaining mousse over the top and fold the overhanging salmon strips over to completely enclose the mousse.
• Cover with the plastic wrap and chill until firm, about 3 hours.
• To unmold, place the mold in a bowl of warm water for 10 seconds.
• Unwrap the plastic from the bottom of the mold and invert the mold onto a serving plate.
• Gently shake to release the mold and unwrap completely.
• Serve with toasted croutons or crackers or seasoned party pitas, for dipping.

AVOCADO AND SMOKED SALMON SOUP

Steps:

• Peel and pit the avocados and in a blender blend them with the lemon juice, the sour cream, 3 cups of the broth, and the Tabasco until the mixture is smooth, adding enough of the remaining 1/2 cup broth to thin the mixture to the desired consistency. Transfer the soup to a bowl, season it with salt and pepper, and chill it, its surface covered with plastic wrap, for 1 hour, or until it is cold. (The soup will discolor if kept for more than 6 hours.) Stir half the salmon, chopped, into the soup, divide the soup among chilled bowls, and garnish it with the remaining salmon, cut into strips.
