Ingredients

2 1/2-pound pieces of salmon fillet, skinned
1 teaspoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
Freshly ground pepper to taste
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon coarse Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon water
4 teaspoons sevruga caviar
1 Kirby cucumber, thinly sliced
4 teaspoons chopped fresh chives

Steps:

Slice each piece of salmon in half horizontally, making 4 thin paillards. Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the salmon to the skillet in batches, and cook so that it is seared on both sides but rare in the center, about 15 seconds a side. Season with salt and pepper, and refrigerate until cold.
Meanwhile, stir together the mayonnaise, mustard, lemon juice, water and salt and pepper to taste. To serve, coat 4 plates with the mustard sauce. Place 1 piece of salmon on each plate and top with 1 teaspoon caviar. Fan a few of the cucumber slices on one side of the salmon, and sprinkle the chives over the cucumbers and around the edge of the plate.
