Shut Up and Eat Your Capers Breakfast
Author Notes: Pierino felt that he owed food52 a clear and concise recipe after the debacle of his minestra. The dish works but the writing was awful, coming directly on the heals of a long flight from Chicago (written on board) and cooked almost al minute. Let's just say corners were cut. But...this is clean and simple. And it's a continuation of the caper discussion. Drbabs, this one is for you and your caper hating life partner. —pierino
Serves 2
- 4 ounces best quality smoke salmon (as in wild caught Alaskan)
- 1 biggish heirloom tomato
- 1/4 cup salt packed capers (rinsed)
- 1/4 cup red onion, chopped
- 1 ripe avocado
- cracked black pepper
- lemon juice
- fleur de sel
- Work quickly, but begin by rinsing your capers in cold water.
- Chop the red onion into small bits.
- Slice the tomato and hit with some salt and pepper.
- Carefully slice your avocado into "medallions" and squirt some lemon juice on, which will help them not to darken.
- Arrange your salmon slices on your serving plates, with the tomato; chopped onions and capers on top of salmon. Avocado on the side. Fleur de sel to finish it all up.

Love my iphone, hate the camera. Oh, and best title ever (I'm a caper lover...especially those obscenely big ones.)

Yes, but the description works for those of us who are not as visual!

Pierino, you posted this yesterday--on my "life partner"'s birthday--- and we both want to say thank you. He thinks it sounds great...would go perfectly with an Everything bagel and a little cream cheese. But he still wouldn't eat the capers.

I am 100% iPhone photo. I just can't seem to have a charged digital to save my life. This photo is very 'modern art'. I think this would be delicious on some sourdough toast with the avocado smashed into the bread like butter and then all the fixins' piled (in a loving manner) on top. At least, that's how I'll eat it.
