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.

Tips:
- Selecting the Best Tuna: Opt for high-quality canned tuna packed in olive oil or water. Look for tuna labeled "dolphin-safe" or "sustainably caught" to ensure responsible fishing practices.
- Draining and Flaking Tuna: Drain the tuna thoroughly to remove excess liquid. Flake the tuna using a fork for a smooth and even texture.
- Choosing the Right Olives: Select flavorful olives such as Kalamata, Castelvetrano, or Niçoise. Pit and chop the olives before adding them to the mousse.
- Fresh Herbs and Seasonings: Incorporate fresh herbs like parsley, chives, or dill for added flavor. Season the mousse with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice to taste.
- Creamy Texture: To achieve a creamy and smooth mousse, use high-quality cream cheese or crème fraîche. Soften the cream cheese to room temperature before mixing it with the other ingredients.
- Chilling and Serving: Chill the tuna olive mousse for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld and the mousse to set properly. Serve with crackers, crostini, or vegetables for a delightful appetizer or snack.

Tuna olive mousse is a versatile and delicious appetizer or snack that combines the richness of tuna, the briny flavor of olives, and the creaminess of cheese.
