Method
Place the salmon trout fillet (skin side down) in a small non-stick pan.
Dissolve the Fish Stock in the boiling water and pour over the salmon. Cover with a lid. Bring to the boil. Cook for 3 minutes only. Turn over, remove from the heat and leave to stand (lid on) for 6 minutes. Sprinkle the gelatine over the cold water and leave to sponge.
In a food processor, mix the onion, Tomato Pesto, Chilli & Garlic Seasoning, lemon juice and fish paste.
Remove the fish from the stock. Bring the stock just to the boil and dissolve the gelatine in the hot stock. Leave to cool while flaking the fish.
Add the stock to the other ingredients in the processor. Liquidise until smooth. Add the flaked salmon. Pulse 10 times.
Whip the cream and fold it into the mixture. Taste for seasoning.
Dish into 6-8 small dishes. Cover and refrigerate. Can be made 2 days in advance, but keep well covered.
