Instructions
- 1
Add the flaked hot-smoked salmon, cream cheese, Greek yogurt, and olive oil to a food processor. Pulse 8–10 times until the mixture is mostly smooth with a few small flakes remaining — do not over-process to a completely uniform paste, as a little texture improves the final mousse.
- 2
Add the lemon juice, lemon zest, horseradish, and black pepper. Pulse 3–4 more times until just combined and the mixture is light and cohesive.
