Divide salmon among four 6-ounce ramekins; place ramekins in a large roasting pan and fill pan with hot water about halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Cover the pan with aluminum foil and bake for 30 to 35 minutes until mousse springs back slightly when touched. Remove ramekins from water bath and cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes before placing in the refrigerator to chill for 30 minutes.
