# How To Make It:
01 - Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
02 - Boil halved baby potatoes for 10 to 12 minutes until fork-tender. Drain and toss with 1 tablespoon butter, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
03 - Toss asparagus and zucchini slices with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 10 to 12 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
04 - Pat steaks dry and season with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil in a heavy skillet over high heat. Sear steaks for 2 to 3 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer to a plate and tent with foil to rest.
05 - In the same skillet, sear scallops for 1 to 2 minutes per side until golden and just cooked through. Remove and keep warm.
06 - Sear shrimp in the skillet for 1 to 2 minutes per side until pink and opaque.
07 - Whisk together crème fraîche, Dijon mustard, lemon zest, lemon juice, chopped chives, and capers. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
08 - Arrange potatoes, roasted vegetables, steaks, scallops, shrimp, and smoked salmon elegantly on a large serving platter. Drizzle with prepared sauce, garnish with microgreens, and apply edible gold leaf flakes if desired.
