A silent parade of salmon and egg, like the funeral procession on Karl Johan street.

A restrained salad of thinly sliced smoked salmon, laid in a straight line like Oslo's Karl Johan street for the funeral procession. At the start, a soft-boiled egg as the palace dome, surrounded by a modest edge of field lettuce and radish.

Ingredients

200 g smoked salmon, in long slices
4 eggs
75 g field lettuce
8 radishes
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp lemon juice
salt and pepper

Method

Boil the eggs for 7 minutes, cool and carefully peel.
Wash the field lettuce and radishes. Slice the radishes thinly.
Mix olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper into a simple dressing.
On each plate, lay a straight line of smoked salmon down the center.
At the start of the line, place a halved egg with the round side up, like a dome.
Arrange field lettuce and radish slices sparingly along the sides of the line.
Drizzle the dressing carefully over the salad.

Serving notes

Serve on a rectangular plate for a clearer 'street'.
Keep the garnish minimal for a restrained look.
