 Preparation 

To make the whitefish salad  

Using a fork, flake the fish into small pieces and place in a mixing bowl. Remove core from the apple half. Dice into ¼-inch pieces.  Add the diced apple, capers, shallots, tarragon and parsley to the whitefish. Mix gently to combine.   Add 3 tablespoons of mayonnaise and combine. If the whitefish salad seems too dry, add the remaining tablespoon of mayonnaise. Season with salt and pepper to taste. 

To prepare the vinaigrette

Place the mustard and vinegar in a small bowl. Whisk to combine. Slowly add the olive oil and season with salt and pepper to taste.   

To assemble the salad

Place the greens in a mixing bowl. Toss with the vinaigrette. Core the remaining apple half. Cut the apple into 1/8-inch slices.  

Divide the dressed lettuce among 4 plates. Divide the whitefish salad among the 4 plates, placing equal scoops on top of the lettuce. Garnish each salad with several apple slices and two tomato wedges. If using, garnish with edible flowers or herb sprigs.
