Sprinkle the gelatin over the hot water and stir until the gelatin dissolves. Add the mayonnaise, lemon juice and tomato ketchup. The tomato ketchup is there to add a little flavour but mainly to add pink colour to the mousse. You don't want white mousse with bits of pink salmon in it. Add salt and pepper to taste, remembering that the salmon may be salty so don't add too much salt. Flake the hot smoked salmon. Cut the cold smoke salmon into 1cm squares. Fold both the salmons through the mousse. Try to not break the flaked salmon up so that there is still some texture in the mousse. Check the seasoning and adjust if needed. Fill a 2 cup jelly mould, or a fish mould if you have one, and refrigerate for 2 hours or until the gelatin sets. Make a bed of shredded lettuce on a large platter. Turn the mould out on to the lettuce. I had to line my mould with clingfilm because it rusted sightly, which makes it easier to remove from the mould but you lose some detail.You may need to briefly dunk the mould into hot water. Don't be tempted to leave it sitting in hot water. The gelatin will soften very quickly. Thinly slice a cucumber and use it to garnish around the base of the turned out mousse. Finely chop some dill and scatter over the top of the mousse. Cut the lemon into wedges and serve around the mousse. Serve with crusty bread as a light lunch or reduce the gelatin to 5g and serve with crackers as a dip. This is an excellent buffet table dish too. ==================================. To serve this as a starter, instead of filling a ring mould or other mould: Line a 6-muffin muffin tray with circles of waxed paper. Put a slice of cold smoked salmon on top of each circle. Add 1/3 cup of mousse to each muffin cup. Refrigerate for 1 hour. Plate up individual servings of mousse by dressing the plate with lettuce, turning out a salmon mousse (and remove the wax paper), garnish with dill on top and cucumber and a lemon wedge on the side. ==================================.
