Ingredients

Scale

Shells

  • 100 g of almond flour
  • 100 g of icing sugar
  • 70 g egg whites
  • 3 g ground black pepper
  • 1 g of fine salt

Filling

  • 150 g of smoked salmon
  • 100 g of spreadable cheese
  • 30 ml of fresh liquid cream
  • 5 g of fresh wild fennel
  • 5 ml lemon juice
  • 1 g of white pepper

Instructions

  1. Sift Ingredients: Sift together the almond flour, powdered sugar, and black pepper. Note: Sift twice to ensure a fine powder.
  2. Whisk Egg Whites: Whisk the egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form, leaving stiff peaks when you lift the beaters.
  3. Fold and Macaronage: Fold the solids into the egg whites using bottom-up movements. Then perform the macaronage: mix the mixture with a spatula against the sides of the bowl until it becomes glossy and smooth. The mixture should slide out like a continuous ribbon.
  4. Pipe Circles: Pipe small circles onto a baking sheet lined with a silicone mat. Tap the sheet firmly on the countertop to remove any air bubbles.
  5. Rest Shells: Let it sit in the air for 30-60 minutes. Wait until a film forms on the surface that doesn’t stick to your finger when touched.
  6. Bake: Bake at 140°C for about 12-15 minutes. Check that the shell is firm and doesn’t wobble when lightly touched.
  7. Prepare Mousse: Prepare the mousse by blending the smoked salmon and spreadable cheese, gradually adding the liquid cream.
  8. Add Flavorings: Add the lemon juice, chopped fennel, and white pepper to the mixture, stirring by hand so as not to deflate the cream.
  9. Assemble Macarons: Fill each macaron shell with a dollop of mousse using a piping bag and close with a second shell.

Notes

  • Sift the dry ingredients twice to ensure a fine powder.
  • Allow the shells to rest in the air until a non-sticky film forms before baking.
  • Stir the filling gently by hand to keep the mousse light and fluffy.
