Make a simple pie crust by mixing 50 grams of flour with 1 teaspoon of butter and 1 stick of frozen butter.

Wrap the dough and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

Prepare the mascarpone mixture by combining mascarpone cheese, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, cilantro, and a little cayenne pepper; mix well and reserve in the fridge.

Slice the zucchini using a mandolin.

You can either boil or steam the zucchini; steaming is recommended for about 1 minute.

Prepare the tart mold by buttering the bottom and dusting with flour.

Pre-bake the crust by placing parchment paper on top and adding weights.

Mix cream, eggs, salt, and nutmeg together for the filling.

Layer the zucchini slices and salmon in the tart shell, then pour the cream mixture over the top.

Bake the tart until set.
