    1. Rinse the quail eggs, put them in a saucepan, cover with water, and boil for 5 minutes until hard-boiled. Drain the hot water and cool the eggs under cold water. Carefully peel them and cut them in half. You can use chicken eggs instead, halving the count — but quail eggs look much more striking in the salad. 2. Wash the iceberg lettuce and arugula in cool water and dry them in a salad spinner or on paper towels. Once dry, tear the iceberg leaves into pieces by hand; you can leave the arugula in whole sprigs. 3. Wash and dry the cherry tomatoes, then cut them in half. Choose ripe but firm tomatoes. 4. Cut the lightly salted chum salmon fillet into medium slices. 5. In a large salad bowl, arrange the torn iceberg leaves and arugula sprigs. Add the halved cherry tomatoes and the quail egg halves, then the pieces of chum salmon. Salt and season with ground black pepper to taste, depending on how salty the fish is. Using two large spoons, gently scoop from underneath to toss all the ingredients together — work carefully so you don't bruise the greens or tomatoes. 6. Just before serving, drizzle the salad with extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar. This chum salmon salad doesn't keep well — it loses its goodness and the greens wilt and lose their look — so it's best not to make it ahead. Enjoy!
