EVERYTHING BAGEL SALMON MOUSSE
It seems almost every cookbook from the 1970s has a photograph of salmon mousse molded into the shape of a large fish with sliced olives for eyes -- because who doesn't want to eat something that is staring at them? The sad part of this story is that salmon mousse is actually delicious, but unfortunate photography has (pardon the pun) left a bad taste in our mouths. Serve this in a fancy ramekin or decorative bowl with a crust of everything bagel spices on the top, and watch in amazement as the hokey food styling of the 70s becomes a distant memory.

- Add the cream cheese, smoked salmon, half-and-half, capers, dried dill and red onion to a food processor. Pulse in short bursts until the ingredients begin to combine, then process until smooth, scraping down the bottom and sides of the bowl as necessary.
