Smoked salmon isn’t just a treat; it’s very nutritious, too. Smoked salmon is a great source of many of the vitamins which are necessary for a healthy diet. It’s also good for minerals, including selenium, copper, phosphorus, calcium, iron and zinc. It also adds a little luxury to any meal. This dish makes a wonderful Valentine’s Day starter as it’s very quick to make, looks gorgeous and tastes utterly sensational.

- 1tbsp fresh lemon or lime juice
- 2-3tbsp light olive oil

- Arrange the slices of smoked salmon neatly on each plate.
- Whisk together the lemon or lime juice, olive oil, pepper and sugar. Scatter the capers over the salmon, pop a neat pile of salad leaves and onion on top, and, using a teaspoon, drizzle over some of the dressing (put the rest in a small dish to add at the table) and serve at once.
