I just want you all to know that I took the salmon out of the freezer at 8:00 a.m. this morning before I went shopping and when I returned was completely intimidated by Roger’s pretty little tart http://stowell.wordpress.com/2011/11/30/ill-follow-the-sun-with-a-smoked-salmon-tart-in-tow/. Oh well, this was good too 🙂
Salmon Salad
Smoked salmon
quail eggs, hard boiled and halved
Salmon eggs
Iceberg lettuce
Mache
Capers
Dill
Creme fraiche
Toast
Place the mache and lettuce on a salad plate, draping the salmon on top. Arrange the quail eggs around the lettuce and top with the salmon eggs. Sprinkle with capers and dill, top with a dollop of creme fraiche and serve with toast.
Wine suggestion: Champagne Jacquart Brut
Great job on the pictures.
Thank you Jon.
This blows that crummy tart out of the water. (I know, that wasn’t convincing at all, the tart was great, I can’t get it out of my head, but this is too!) Those quail eggs look wonderful.
Roger is such a fantastic photographer and cook!
This salad not only looks really cute, with that mix of colours and textures, I’m sure it’s also delicious!
I’ll take the recipe with me, I must try it!!
Thank you and bon appetit!
Well you certainly got it right today. Looks fantastic – nicely seen.
Thank you Roger.
Your plating is divine! I love the color and texture addition of the salmon eggs. I think I have some smoked salmon laying around .. this will be perfect for lunch tomorrow 🙂
Thank you Jen. I found the glass plate at the supermarket for 1euro 50 🙂
Sorry I’m just getting to this now – I’ve been traveling. Did you say you got the plate for 1euro 50?!?! Woww great find!! *jealous*

Terrific, you did a great job and the photo is great too, I will try to cook this next Monday.
Thank you Alex. Good luck with the salad.
