Salmon Mousse

Dips and Spreads.
Popular in the fifties and sixties, salmon mousse is updated by using fresh, rather than canned slamon and by substituting yogurt and light sour cream for the mayonnaise and heavy cream. The yogurt provides a calcium boost and the horseradish gives your sinuses a breath of fresh air. If you prefer, you may substitute one 14 3/4-ounce can of sockeye salmon for the fresh. If you do, don't bother to drain or remove the skin or bones (which contain calcium) before transferring to the food processor.
