Flavors of Quebec

Chef's Note
This is a very attractive and colorful dish. Sturgeon cheeks are rare: they're a new product on the market, but you could substitute a white fish, preferably mild-flavored so as not to overpower the flavor of the truffles.
Serve the salad at room temperature so that it harmonizes well with the truffle butter.
I like to work with whole truffles, but you could reduce the cost by opting for a less expensive product.
