Ingredients

• 1 cup heavy cream
• Juice of 1 lemon, more if desired
• 2 tablespoons finely sliced chives
• 2 ripe mangoes, peeled and cut into 1/8-inch slices
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 3 4-by-12-inch thin slices smoked salmon

• Coarsely ground black pepper
• Extra virgin olive oil

4 servings

Preparation

1. In a medium bowl, whisk cream until it forms stiff peaks. Add juice of 1 lemon and chives, and mix well. Taste mangoes; if they are very sweet, you may wish to add lemon juice to cream mixture. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground pepper.
2. On a cutting board, place one slice of smoked salmon. Using a spatula, spread a thin layer of lemon cream on salmon, covering it completely. Cover cream with slices of mango. Place a second layer of salmon on the mango, and again cover with a layer of cream and a layer of mango. Top with a layer of smoked salmon.
3. Cut into four rectangles of equal size, and transfer to four plates. Sprinkle the napoleons with fleur de sel and coarse pepper. Drizzle them with olive oil, and serve immediately.
