Title: Smoked Salmon Rolls with Fresh Salmon Caviar
Categories: Seafood Appetizer Ethnic
Yield: 6 Servings

1	lb	Cold smoked salmon
3 1/2		Sheets of leaf gelatin
1/3	c	Fish stock
2	tb	Unsalted butter
1/4	ts	Worcestershire sauce
1 1/4	c	Whipping cream
		Salt to taste
		Freshly ground black pepper
		Salmon roe
		Fresh dill

Chill all equipment including bowl and blade of the food processor. Slice half the salmon into 3" x 6" rectangles. Place each on a piece of plastic wrap; refrigerate. Chop remaining salmon coarsely; set aside.

Soften leaf gelatin in a bowl of cold water until pliable, about 5 minutes. Warm fish stock in a small saucepan. Drain and squeeze excess moisture from leaf gelatin; add to the fish stock, stirring to dissolve completely. Refrigerate until cool, but not set.

Puree salmon chunks and butter in food processor until smooth. Add fish stock, Tabasco and Worcestershire sauces. Process until blended. Transfer to a large stainless steel bowl. In a separate chilled bowl, whip cream until it forms soft peaks. Fold into salmon mixture in halves. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Spoon about 1" layer of salmon mousse into the centre of each salmon rectangle. Roll the slice of salmon around the mousse with the help of the plastic wrap, until each edge meets. Twist ends of wrap tightly; chill rolls at least 1 1/2 hours before serving.

To serve, unwrap rolls and place on a chilled plate. Garnish with a small spoonful of salmon roe and a sprig of dill.
