Notes
This recipe can be scaled-up or scaled-down depending on the desired number of servings.
*The use of salmon roe, paddlefish roe, or imitation caviar from Europe will make this dish much less expensive compared to using real caviar. 50g jars of imitation caviar in countries like Spain can be found for under three euros, and have a wonderful flavor that is surprisingly reminiscent of the real thing.
