03 — Method
- For the avocado layer: peel and pit the 3 avocados. Scoop the flesh into the large bowl and roughly mash with a fork, leaving some chunks.
- IMMEDIATELY mix in the juice of 1 lime so the avocado doesn't brown.
- Peel the 2 shallots and chop VERY finely (2 mm / 1/16 in dice).
- Finely snip the large bunch of dill and the chives, keeping a few whole sprigs for garnish.
- In the bowl, mix the mashed avocado, shallots, half the herbs, extra-virgin olive oil, salt and pepper.
- For the cheese mousse: in another bowl, mix the fresh cheese, crème fraîche, grated zest of the second lime, salt and pepper. Whisk hard until smooth and light.
- Cut the smoked salmon into thin 5 mm (¼ in) strips. Cut the 100 g (3½ oz) raw salmon into very small 5 mm (¼ in) dice.
- Layer the 8 glasses: avocado at the bottom, cheese mousse, smoked salmon strips, raw salmon dice, more cheese mousse. Top with salmon roe, dill and chives. Serve well chilled, right away.
