Preparation:

Prepare the cucumber layer: Beat the cream cheese in a medium-sized bowl until softened and smooth. Beat in the sour cream, salt, and red pepper seasoning. Stir in the cucumber, onion, and dill. Set aside. Prepare the salmon layer: Flake or mash the salmon with a fork in a large bowl. Combine the mayonnaise, onion, lemon juice, horseradish, parsley, salt, and paprika. Set aside. Sprinkle the gelatin over cold water in a 1-cup glass measure, let soften for 5 minutes. Set the cup in simmering water, stir to dissolve the gelatin. Remove from the heat. Stir 3 T of the gelatin liquid into the cucumber mixture. Wet a 9x5x3 inch loaf pan, or 7 to 8 cup mold, with cool water, and pour the cucumber mixture in. Chill while finishing salmon layer. Stir the remaining gelatin liquid into the salmon mixture. Fold in the whipped cream. Carefully spoon salmon mixture over the cucumber layer in pan. Cover pan and chill 6 hours or overnight. To serve, run the tip of a thin-bladed knife around the top edge of the mold. Dip the mold quickly in and out of hot water. Cover with a chilled serving platter, invert, shake gently to remove. Garnish with caviar, cucumber slices, lemon, and dill. Serve with party rye bread and crackers.
