Ingredients
  

200g smoked salmon, thinly sliced

1/4 cup capers, drained

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 lemon, zested and juiced

1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped

1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped

1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

Salt and cracked black pepper to taste

Microgreens or arugula for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Capers: In a small bowl, toss the drained capers in flour until coated evenly.

    Fry the Capers: In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the floured capers and fry for 2-3 minutes or until golden and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Season lightly with salt.

      Plate the Salmon: On a large serving platter, arrange the thinly sliced smoked salmon in a circular pattern overlapping each piece slightly for an elegant presentation.

        Prepare the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, lemon zest, chopped dill, chives, parsley, and a pinch of salt and cracked black pepper.

          Dress the Salmon: Drizzle the herb dressing evenly over the smoked salmon.

            Add the Capers: Scatter the crispy fried capers generously over the top of the salmon carpaccio.

              Garnish: If using, add a handful of microgreens or arugula around the edges for a pop of freshness and color.
