TUNA AND SALMON PATCHWORK WITH A GAZPACHO MOUSSE

Steps:

• Combine the oil and chilies and let stand at least 24 hours.
• When ready to prepare this dish, place four round cookie-cutter molds, each about one-and-one-half inches in diameter and one-and-one-half inches in height, on a flat surface with the sharp edges up.
• Cut enough of the salmon into small cubes to make four tablespoons. Cut enough of the tuna into small cubes to make four tablespoons. Place the cubes in a small bowl and add the lime juice, sour cream and salt and pepper to taste. Blend well and set aside.
• Cut the remaining salmon on the bias into very thin slices. Arrange one slice at a time over the upper edges of one mold covering the inside bottom of the mold and slightly overlapping at the top. Let the slices hang over the edges. Use only enough slices to line the mold. Line the other three.
• Spoon one-quarter teaspoon of the caviar inside each of the salmon-lined molds. Spoon equal portions of the cubed fish mixture on top of the caviar. Fold over the overhanging bits of the salmon slices to enclose the filling and cover the top of each mold neatly. Unmold each serving on large, white dinner plates.
• Cut the remaining salmon and tuna into very thin slices. Arrange equal portions of the tuna and salmon slices, edges slightly overlapping, in a neat pattern in the center of the plate.
• Unmold one portion of gazpacho mousse onto each plate, opposite the filled salmon molds.
• Put the mustard and vinegar in a small mixing bowl and start beating with a wire whisk. Remove the hot chilies from the oil and beat the oil into the sauce. Add salt, pepper, cucumber, sweet red pepper and scallion. Blend well. Spoon equal portions of the sauce over the salmon and tuna slices. Garnish each serving with salad leaves.

CREAMY GREEN GAZPACHO

Steps:

• Reserve one-quarter of the tomato, two cucumber chunks, two avocado chunks, and one basil leaf. Combine and finely chop for garnish.
• Stem and seed the jalapeño half and reserve the seeds. Cut the jalapeño into several pieces. Combine one or two pieces of the jalapeño with the remaining tomato, cucumber, avocado, and basil and the watercress or spinach, celery, garlic, red wine vinegar, honey, and ice cubes in a blender or the bowl of a food processor; puree until smooth. Add 1/4 cup or more water to thin the mixture, if necessary.
• Taste and season with salt, pepper, and more vinegar, if needed. If you want the soup spicier, add more of the jalapeño, a little at a time, as well as some of the seeds if desired, blending and tasting after each addition. Refrigerate until cold, then pour into a bowl and top with the reserved chopped tomato, cucumber, avocado, and basil and a drizzle of olive oil, and eat.
