small can black truffles, very thinly sliced  
salmon filets, skinned  
teaspoons fine salt  
teaspoon fresh ground pepper  
teaspoon fresh ground coriander  
(8−inch) rice paper rounds  
fresh chives trimmed to 4 inches  
tablespoons olive oil  
Truffle oil, to taste  
Generous splash Hennessy cognac  
Butterfly each salmon piece horizontally with a sharp knife. Arrange 1 layer of truffle slices on bottom  
halves and replace tops to cover truffles. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, cognac and coriander.  
Spread a towel on a workspace and fill a large bowl with water. Soak 1 rice paper round until pliable.  
Arrange 1 chive and reserve truffle slices in center of round and top with each salmon filet rounded  
side down. Fold rice paper over short sides of salmon, then over long sides to enclose the salmon.  
Transfer, seam sides down to a tray and keep covered with plastic wrap.  
Heat 1 1/2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over moderately high heat. Sauté salmon packages  
seam sides up until golden brown. Turn salmon over and reduce heat to moderate. Cook until both  
sides are firm to the touch. Transfer to plate and enjoy.
