Method
step 1
Put the vinegar and sugar into a heavy-based saucepan and bring to the boil, allowing the sugar to dissolve. Add the sliced shallots to the warm liquid, stir through, then tip into a dish and cover with cling film. Set aside.
step 2
Arrange the smoked salmon in the centre of each plate, making sure that the slices slightly overlap, and set aside.
step 3
Put the frisée salad, the chives, capers, a little of the shallot vinegar and some of the shallots into a mixing bowl and toss together. Spoon the mixture over the salmon and serve with a few twists of black pepper, a drizzle of oil and lemon wedges on the side.
