Preparation

Crispy Capers

Dry the capers on paper towels. Place the oil in a small pot. Heat over medium heat. Add capers and fry over medium heat until they are crisp. Drain well and set on paper towels.

Citrus Crème Fraîche

Combine the crème fraîche, zests, and juice. Season with salt and pepper.

Spring Greens

Place the frisée, mâche, endive, and greens in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with white balsamic and olive oil. Toss.

Garnish

Combine the cucumber, tomatoes, and parsley in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Drizzle with olive oil.

Salmon

Season the fish with salt and pepper. Let sit for 10 minutes.

Heat a large sauté pan over medium high heat. Add olive oil and salmon, presentation side down. Cook until golden brown on the exterior and just opaque in the center, approximately 4 minutes per side.

Place a spoonful of sauce just off center on the plate. Place a generous handful of greens, slightly to the left of the sauce. Place the salmon in between the salad and sauce. Top with the garnish and sprinkle with crispy capers.
