Salmon Mousse with Sour Cream Dill Sauce

Salmon Mousse with Sour Cream Dill Sauce is a starter that never goes out of fashion. The simplicity of this dish and the complexity of its flavour makes this a superb starter or side dish. The sharpness is provided from the Lemon Juice and Capers. Whilst the mild hit of the Paprika and Tabasco Sauce gives the dish flavour and body.  Although, this is mellowed by the additional of mayonnaise and the cottage cheese but can be ramped up. I serve this dish with crackers or small triangle of toasted bread for a starter.  However, I serve this with a refreshing salad as a side dish.
