This gorgeous napoleon looks difficult to create, but really, it's easy. This Smoked Salmon Mousse Napoleons recipe was fun to create and perfect in my test kitchen, and I have to admit that the end result is not only impressive, but SO DELICIOUS!! With the help of a piping bag, the salmon mousse pipes easily on the backed puff pastry toasts for even coverage and flavor. The arugula adds that wonderful peppery flavor that compliments the mousse beautifully, and adds that pop of color to the dish. This is a perfect summer recipe, and if you're entertaining, your guests will leave raving! I encourage you to make this Smoked Salmon Mousse Napoleons recipe this summer!!

This recipe sounds delicious, but... If a serving is one Napoleon, then this recipe makes 4 servings, not 6. And how in the world would you measure 1/24th of a teaspoon? Why not just say 4 drops?
