This is a recipe I used to make all the time -- a smoked salmon "mousse" with cream cheese, lemon and, according to both Amanda and me, perhaps one of the most underrated ingredients out there: onion juice. The original recipe is from the Williams-Sonoma Hors d'Oeuvre cookbook, and the salmon mousse is served on what the authors refer to as "endive boats," topped with a few pearls of salmon roe and a pinch of sprouts. Amanda and I were talking about this mousse and suddenly thought, why not put it on a crostino? And since it's smoked salmon, what could be better than some nice little rye toasts? Below is the adapted recipe for salmon mousse (I add more onion juice and some lemon zest) on rye toasts.
