Ingredients
  

200g smoked salmon, thinly sliced

2 tablespoons capers, drained and rinsed

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 tablespoon butter

1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped

1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped

1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

1 lemon, zested and juiced

Salt and pepper to taste

Crostini or crackers for serving

Instructions
 

Prepare the Crostini: If you're making your own crostini, preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Slice a baguette or bread of choice into thin slices, brush both sides with olive oil, and toast in the oven for about 8-10 minutes or until golden brown. Set aside.

    Fry the Capers: In a small skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add the rinsed capers and fry for 2-3 minutes until they're crispy and start to pop. Remove from heat and set them aside on a paper towel to drain excess oil.

      Assemble the Carpaccio: On a large serving platter, gently overlap the smoked salmon slices to form a beautiful layer. Drizzle the lemon juice over the salmon and lightly zest the lemon over the top for brightness.

        Add Fresh Herbs: Sprinkle the chopped dill, chives, and parsley over the salmon in an even layer. Season with salt and freshly cracked black pepper.

          Finish with Fried Capers: Scatter the crispy fried capers evenly over the dish, adding a delicious crunch and salty burst of flavor.

            Serve: Present the carpaccio immediately with crostini or crackers on the side for a delightful appetizer or light meal.

                - Presentation Tips: For an elegant touch, use round cookie cutters to plate the salmon for a neat presentation. Drizzle a bit of olive oil around the edges of the plate and garnish with additional fresh herbs for color.
