SMOKED SALMON 7-LAYER DIP

Steps:

• Line a 6"-diameter ring mold, 6"-diameter cake pan or springform pan, or 16-oz. ramekin with plastic wrap, pressing it along the bottom and up the sides (you can also use a small bowl, but the layers won't be quite as even). Pulse cream cheese, goat cheese, horseradish, and lemon zest in a food processor until well combined and creamy.
• Press a third of smoked salmon into an even layer across the bottom of mold. Spread half of cream cheese mixture evenly over salmon, smoothing surface with a rubber spatula.
• Toss radishes and onion in a small bowl to combine, then scatter over cream cheese mixture and press down lightly into mixture. Top with half of remaining salmon, making an even layer, then scatter capers over. Spread remaining cream cheese mixture over capers and finish with a final layer of the remaining salmon. Cover dip with plastic wrap and chill at least 1 hour to let dip set and flavors meld.
• Uncover dip and carefully invert onto a plate. Remove ring mold, then carefully peel away plastic. Top with chives. Serve with endives and bagel chips for spreading over.

AVOCADO SALMON SPREAD

Steps:

• Season the salmon filet with the black pepper. Set a small skillet over low/medium heat, add the olive oil, salmon filet, shallot and garlic and cook, turning the salmon once for about 10 minutes. The salmon should be just cooked through.
• Transfer the salmon, including the shallot and garlic, to a small mixing bowl and allow to cool for 10 minutes, then cover loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate until chilled.
• When the salmon is fully chilled, use a fork to flake the fish apart. Remove the pit and scoop the avocado flesh right into the bowl, add the lemon juice and mash all together well. Stir in the cream cheese, chives, dill, salt and cayenne and mix well.
• Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Serve with crackers, bagel chips or toast points.

SALMON AND AVOCADO TERRINE

Steps:

• To make the mousse, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place the fresh salmon in a single layer in a medium ovenproof skillet and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bring the fish stock to a boil and pour it over the salmon. Over medium high heat, bring the stock to a simmer. Place a buttered sheet of parchment paper over the skillet and transfer it to the oven. Cook for 2 minutes, until the salmon is not quite done. Strain, reserving the salmon and stock in separate bowls.
• In a medium saucepan, heat the butter over medium low heat. Add the shallots and the mushrooms and cook for about 3 minutes, or until almost tender. Add the brandy and flame it with a match, standing well away from the pan. Cook over high heat until reduced by half, then add the reserved stock and again reduce by half. Remove from the heat and sprinkle the gelatin over the top. Stir until the gelatin has dissolved, then strain into a food processor and discard the solids. Add the cooked salmon and the Tabasco to the food processor and puree the mixture until smooth. Whip the cream to soft peaks and reserve in the refrigerator. Transfer the salmon mixture to a metal bowl set inside a larger bowl filled with ice water. Stir until the mixture has cooled to room temperature, but not colder. Stir in 1/4 of the whipped cream to loosen the mixture, then fold in the remaining whipped cream gently.
• Stop folding as soon as the last trace of white disappears. Pour 1/2 of the mixture into a 10 by 5 by 3inch glass loaf pan and, using half of the smoked salmon, gently lay a layer of smoked salmon over the top, laying the strips crosswise. Fit the avocado slices together into an even layer, taking care not to press down too hard or the mousse underneath will shift. Lay the remaining smoked salmon over the top of the avocado and then scoop the remaining salmon mousse into the pan. Spread the mousse into an even layer and cover with plastic wrap. Chill for at least 6 hours and up to 2 days before serving. To serve, run a thin knife along the inside edge of the pan. Dip the bottom of the pan in hot water for a few seconds and invert onto a rectangular serving platter. Cut the mousse into 3/4inch slices with a very sharp knife transfer carefully to serving plates. Pass the watercress mayonnaise on the side.
