Preparation

In a small saucepan or glass bowl, combine 1/4 cup (60 mL) of the cream and the lemon zest; sprinkle with gelatin. Let stand for 5 min to soften gelatin. Heat saucepan over medium-low heat or microwave in bowl on medium-low (30 %) just until gelatin dissolves. Let cool to room temperature.

Stir salmon, dill, capers and hot pepper sauce into gelatin mixture. In a chilled bowl, whip remaining cream to firm peaks. Fold one-quarter into the salmon mixture to blend. Add into remaining whipped cream; gently fold until blended. Cover and refrigerate until chilled and thick, about 1 hour or for up to 1 day.

To serve, using a piping bag with a large star tip, if desired, pipe or spoon mousse onto crackers or cucumber slices. Sprinkle with dill or lemon zest for garnish.
