1tbsp fresh chives finely chopped
1tbsp olive oil

"A delicious and easy brunch recipe which will impress your guests! I like to serve it for brunch but it can also be served as an appetizer for a gourmet dinner. The lemon whipped cream is a nice twist to the classic sweet Chantilly Cream. Serve it with slices of fresh baguette. It will go perfectly with the cream and salmon." ~ Nathalie
