Recipes from Michael Lomonaco's _Michael's Place_, 3/15 and 16/97 Toss the mesclun, or your choice of salad greens in a bowl with the juice of one lemon, plus the vinaigrette. Divide equally onto plates, mounding the greens in the center. Divide the salmon and trou t fillets evenly among the plates, arranging them around the greens. Sprinkle the capers and onion around the fish. Drizzle one teaspoon of chili oil over the fish on each plate.

Artfully arrange a dollop of sour cream on each plate and top the sour cream with caviar.

Dust the plate with some chopped fresh chives and serve with country-style pumpernickel bread.
