This delicious mousse is super easy to prepare. I prefer to use hot smoked salmon, which is different from cold smoked salmon! If you are unclear on the differences here is a great explanation from The Nibble. However, this recipe also works well with cold smoked salmon, unsmoked cooked salmon, or smoked mackerel. It's naturally low in carbs, so just make sure that you provide suitable chips for scooping up all the fishy goodness!

This recipe is courtesy of my splendid friend, Angus Henderson. Here's his suggestion for a fancier presentation: line a dish with plastic wrap and lay out some strips of smoked salmon in whatever design you like. Add the mousse and refrigerate until it firms up. To serve, turn the mousse out onto a plate using the plastic wrap to help transfer it cleanly. Finish with a lemon slice!
