Baking Directions:

1.

Soften the gelatin in the cold water in a large mixing bowl.

Stir in the boiling water and whisk the mixture slowly until the gelatin dissolves.

Stir to blend completely and refrigerate until the mixture begins to thicken slightly, about 20 minutes.

3.

Fold in the finely flaked salmon.

In a separate bowl, whip the cream until it is thickened to soft peaks and fluffy.

Fold gently into the salmon mixture.

4.

Transfer the mixture to a 6- to 8-cup bowl or decorative mold.

Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.

5.

Garnish with watercress, and serve with toasts, pumpernickel, or crackers.
