  1. Cut the ripe avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a blender. Add freshly squeezed lime juice, a handful of fresh herbs, and sour cream or Greek yogurt. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  2. Taste the mousse and adjust the seasoning by adding a pinch of salt or extra lime juice if needed. Blend briefly to incorporate.
  3. Transfer the mousse into an airtight container, pressing plastic wrap against the surface to prevent browning, and chill for at least 1 hour.
  4. Spoon the chilled mousse into serving glasses or plates and top with the smoked salmon. Garnish with fresh herbs.
