ingredients
directions
Discard any damaged outer endive leaves. Trim the root end and separate the leaves until you have about 35 to 40 large leaves. Arrange the leaves on a baking sheet.
Put the crème fraîche in a squeeze bottle, a small piping bag, or a small plastic bag with one corner snipped off, and pipe a small amount on each endive leaf. Arrange about 4 strips of the sliced salmon on top of the crème fraîche. Season the salmon with a little black pepper and a small squeeze of lemon juice. Sprinkle a few chives on top and arrange the leaves on a platter to serve.
Notes
You can prep everything in advance, but assemble right before serving.
You can also serve the crème fraîche, chives, and salmon in the Potato Nests instead of the endive.
