INGREDIENTS
1/2 pound crab meat

1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

1 1/2 tablespoon mayonnaise

2/3 cup bread crumbs

1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley 

1 1/4 teaspoon seafood seasoning (ex: Old Bay)

Neutral oil (for pan frying)

Plaza Golden Whitefish Roe, for garnish

Fresh parsley, for garnish 

METHOD

1. Look over the crab meat and make sure to remove any shell fragments that may remain.

2. In a mixing bowl, combine the crab, Worcestershire sauce, mayonnaise, parsley, bread crumbs, and seasoning. Mix everything together until well combined.

3. Shape mixture into mini crab cakes. Refrigerate the cakes while you preheat oil in a skillet over medium heat.

4. When the oil is heated, place crab cakes in the pan. Be sure to leave enough space to flip the cakes. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until golden brown, then flip and cook another 2 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Top with Plaza Golden Whitefish Roe and parsley. 

INGREDIENTS
1 1/2 cups breadcrumbs
6 egg yolks
Neutral oil for frying
1/2-1 oz Plaza de Caviar Caviar, for garnish 
Microgreens, for garnish and for serving

DIRECTIONS
1. Sprinkle the breadcrumbs into a large plate. Use the back of a spoon to create six small wells in the breadcrumbs.
2. Carefully place an egg yolk into each well and cover yolks with breadcrumbs
3. Freeze the yolks in breadcrumbs for at least 8 hours
4. Heat oil in a large sauce pan to 350F. Carefully remove an egg yolk at a time and fry until golden brown, about one minute. Place yolks on a paper towel lined plate while finishing frying.
5. Top each yolk with a spoonful of caviar and a sprig of microgreen. Serve fried egg yolks on a bed of microgreens. 

Makes 2 rolls
INGREDIENTS
2 nori sheets
1 batch of sushi rice (you will have leftovers), cooled to room temperature
5oz sushi grade salmon, cut into small pieces
3 tbs mayonnaise
Siracha sauce, to taste
Coconut aminos, to taste (or soy sauce)
1/8 tsp maple syrup
1 tbs chopped scallions plus more for garnish
1/3 cup panko crumbs 
1-2 tsp lemon zest
1-2oz Salmon roe for garnish

METHOD
1. Add a splash of siracha sauce and coconut aminos, and the maple syrup to mayonnaise and mix well. Adjust for personal taste. Too much spice is not advised for caviar pairing. 
2. Heat panko crumbs on a small frying pan with a little bit of oil until they just start to become golden brown. Remove from heat, mix in lemon zest and set aside. 
3. Mix together salmon, mayo mixture and chopped scallions. Add a little of the panko crumbs. Set aside. 
4. Put 1 nori sheet on a bamboo mat and cover the surface with a thin layer of sushi rice (wetting your hands helps with the stickiness). Lay half of the salmon mixture along the length of the rice in a strip, being careful not to overfill it. Add more panko if desired. Roll up tightly and squeeze to seal when you reach the end.
5. Repeat with remaining nori sheet and salmon mixture.
6. Cut each roll into 6 pieces, top with salmon roe, chopped scallions and more panko crumbs. 

INGREDIENTS
1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed to room temperature
4oz cream cheese, softened
Zest of one lemon
Lemon juice (from one wedge of the lemon, or to taste)
A little olive oil (for baking)
2-3 shallots,  sliced from root to tip, trying to keep in tact (so looks like a tulip or other flower)
1-2 mini sweet peppers, thinly sliced cross-wise to create circles
Chive stems
Parsley springs
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Plaza de Caviar black caviar of choice, for garnish
Plaza de Caviar Salmon or Trout roe, for garnish

2. Mix cream cheese, lemon zest and lemon juice. Add zest or juice to preferred taste.  
3. Cut puff pastry sheet into 6 squares/rectangles and spread cream cheese on each square, leaving a small border without cream cheese. 
4. Drizzle parchment paper with olive oil (in 6 designated sections to fit puff pastry)
5. Arrange peppers or shallots on top of olive oil drizzle, close together like flowers and use chive and parsley for stems and leaves*
6. Cover each set of "flowers" with a square of puff pastry and press down on the edges with a fork to seal tightly*
7. Brush puff pastry squares with egg wash, poke a few holes around the puff pastry with a fork to allow steam to escape*
8. Bake until puff pastry is cooked through, golden and crispy, about 20-25 minutes. Allow to cool slightly. Carefully lift off the parchment with a spatula and flip over. Top shallot flowers with black caviar and spoon Salmon or Trout Roe into the pepper circles.
