- Wash the salads and break or cut salad leaves into equal-size pieces and mix them in a salad bowl.

- Finish the salad dressing by adding the crème fraiche and add salt or pepper if necessary.
- Cut the slightly frozen fillet with a meat-slicer into paper-thin slices and place them in a circle on a large, decorated plate.
