Servings: persons

1
Puree the salmon in a food processor while slowly adding the softened butter and creme fraiche.
2
When these ingredients are combined, add the herbs and lemon juice and freshly ground pepper to taste, or about four grinds of the pepper mill.
3
Remove the mixture from the processor, place it in a bowl and refrigerate for 15 minutes before serving.
4
The mousse will harden quickly in the refrigerator, so remove it as soon as it will hold its shape but is still spreadable.
5
Cut the black bread into small triangles, rectangles or circles and toast at 350 degrees until dry on both sides.
6
When the toast is cool, top each piece with a dollop of mousse.
7
Garnish with salmon caviar and a sprig of dill.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
