Avocado, salmon, quail egg and sour sauce mousse recipe – Italian Cuisine


  • 500 g fresh salmon fillet
  • 200 g fresh cream
  • 55 g brown sugar
  • 6 quail eggs
  • 2 ripe avocados
  • 2 untreated lemons
  • 1 untreated orange
  • kataifi paste
  • dill
  • sprouts
  • sunflower oil
  • extra virgin olive oil
  • salt
  • pepper

FOR THE SALMON
Jumbled up the sugar with 60 g of salt, the grated zest of 1 lemon and orange and 2-3 sprigs of dill flaked. Cut the skin of the salmon with a knife and place it in a baking dish on a bed of salt and sugar; cover it with this mixture, seal the pan and put it to rest in the fridge for 24 hours. Turn the fillet and leave it to marinate for another 24 hours.
Rinse it finally under cold water and dry it. Cut it into thin slices and season with a drizzle of oil.

FOR EGGS
Cook quail eggs in boiling water for 90 seconds, so that the yolk remains creamy. Cool them under water, then peel them carefully.

FOR THE SOUR SAUCE
Work the cream with the juice of 1/2 lemon, salt and pepper until it is partially whipped.

FOR THE MOUSSE
Clean avocados and cut the pulp into small pieces. Blend it with the juice of 1 lemon, a drizzle of oil and a pinch of salt, until you get a smooth and creamy consistency.
Serve salmon with avocado mousse, sour sauce and quail eggs, accompanied by strands of kataifi dough fried in seed oil and fresh sprouts.
