Double Salmon Mousse with Marie Rose sauce

This is a special occasion dish.  No it isn't expensive and it isn't difficult,  it just tastes special. All can be made ahead and plated up before visitors arrive.  There are 2 parts to the recipe and the sauce can be used instead of cocktail sauce with prawns or cray fish. It would be nice on steamed Salmon.



MOUSSE IS BEST MADE AND ALLOWED TO SET UP IN FRIDGE OVER NIGHT.
