Preparation

Remove veins from scallops and cut them in small dice. Two hours before serving, mix all ingredients from the charlotte list (except smoked salmon) and refrigerate 1 hour.

Line 4 small round dishes with sheets of plastic wrap so that they overlap rims. Place smoked salmon slices in plastic lined moulds, also overlapping rims. Fill with marinated scallops. Close plastic wrap and refrigerate 1 hour.

Mustard and dill sauce:

Mix all ingredients except cream and dill. Blend in cream, then dill. Season to taste.

Spread Mustard and Dill Sauce on 4 chilled plates and carefully unmould charlottes in the middle. Garnish with fresh herbs.
