preparation
1. Whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, and a pinch of salt. Toss with the salad leaves, then divide them among four slightly warmed plates. Sprinkle with the chervil. Toast the brioche and put beside the salad.
2. Melt 2 tablespoons (25 g) of the butter in a frying pan. Dust the roe in the seasoned flour, then fry for 2 minutes, turning once, until lightly browned. Put them on top of the brioche.
3. Wipe the pan clean, then add the rest of the butter and cook over a medium heat until it foams and starts to smell nutty. Add the lemon juice, parsley, and a pinch of salt. Spoon the butter over the roe and scatter on the capers. Serve immediately.
