While not an Armenian recipe, I thought it fitting to post Elaine’s salmon mousse because it contains yogurt, one of our favorite ingredients - and - it was delicious, as well as attractive.

1 - 15 oz. can of salmon, drained (save the liquid!)
1 cup nonfat plain yogurt1 cup fat-free cottage cheese
1/4 cup chopped fresh dill

1. Pour salmon in a bowl, remove skin and mash it. Reserve liquid from salmon and set aside.
2. Combine yogurt and cheese in a blender, add salmon. Stir in dill.
3. Dissolve gelatin in salmon liquid over low heat, add to mixture. Blend well.
4. Put mixture into a mold or bowl. Chill 2-3 hours.
5. Carefully unmold onto a serving plate before serving.
NOTE: Elaine used thin slices of cucumber to give the mousse a festive flair.

Mustard Dill Sauce
1/2 cup mayonnaise1/2 cup Grey Poupon (Dijon) mustard
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon dried dill, adjusted to taste.
Mix together until well blended.
There is a recipe that I saw, that is made with raw salmon, it is made with some kind of plant or spice; the spices are put on top or inside a whole salmon and put away for some time and after that, is cut in thin slices and serve with out been cooked.
