Steps:

• Put the vinegar and sugar into a heavy-based saucepan and bring to the boil, allowing the sugar to dissolve. Add the sliced shallots to the warm liquid, stir through, then tip into a dish and cover with cling film. Set aside.
• Arrange the smoked salmon in the centre of each plate, making sure that the slices slightly overlap, and set aside.
• Put the frisée salad, the chives, capers, a little of the shallot vinegar and some of the shallots into a mixing bowl and toss together. Spoon the mixture over the salmon and serve with a few twists of black pepper, a drizzle of oil and lemon wedges on the side.

SMOKED SALMON WITH YOGURT AND CAPERS

Steps:

• Cut each toast in half and divide yogurt equally among the four portions; smooth to edges with the back of your spoon.
• Top each with an equal amount of the smoked salmon.
• Sprinkle with red onions and capers; season with black pepper.
• NOTE: If using regular plain yogurt, you can easily make it the consistency of Greek yogurt by what I call straining. I use a small clean strainer and spoon some yogurt into it and let it drip over a bowl for 15 to 20 minutes until it reaches the desired consistency.

SMOKED SALMON WITH CRISPY SHALLOTS AND DILLED CREAM

Steps:

• Melt butter with olive oil in small skillet over medium-high heat. Add thinly sliced shallot, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and sauté until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer sautéed shallots to paper towels to drain completely (shallot pieces will crisp as they cool). DO AHEAD: Crispy shallots can be made up to 2 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature.
• Arrange baguette slices or water crackers on plate. Spread thin layer of dilled cream over each baguette slice or cracker. Carefully arrange salmon slices atop, dividing equally. Spoon small dollop of dilled cream atop each, sprinkle with crispy shallots, and serve.
