Dorado roe on dark rye
This was a largely improvised snack, so I'm certain the community can add to it. I've never used roe before. This is one serving.
butter
1/4 white onion, sliced in quarter crescents
one clove garlic (I used elephant garlic as it is milder)
herbs to taste
white wine
tomato sauce
one slice thin dark rye bread
one-half skein of dorado roe, sliced lengthwise so the membrane is on one side and the roe on the other
_________________
sautee onions and garlic in butter until just limp, while warming the rye bread in the same pan.
Remove rye bread and add roe, cooking about one minute per side, or to taste.
Place roe on the bread on a plate and sprinkle with sea salt.
Add herbs, and a small amount of tomato sauce and wine to pan and heat until reduced, about two minutes.
Spoon onion mixture over roe and add cilantro or chives as desired.
It's quick, uses only one pan (a plus for me) and has a very mild flavor. I liked it.

That is very interesting...how did you come up with the idea?
I like my roe scrambled with eggs...pretty basic.

Bruno, you have inspired me to call it a day and pour a glass of wine in the kitchen.
Cheers mate.

Miss Judy, I looked around the web a bit, but found little, so I just experimented with what I had in the pantry. One can never go wrong starting out
with garlic and wilted onions in butter and adding wine. 
Good for you, Cap--you deserve the break.

ikura (salmon roe) and have been known to chow down on raw stuff I find on kelp!

Shari, "and [I] have been known to chow down on raw stuff I find on kelp!"
I think I remember a photo of you doing just that! Good stuff.
Actually, I followed your lead and tried it raw, but it was essentially tasteless. The accompaniment helped it a lot. I was going to cook it as per
Miss Judy, but I had no chicken eggs, so I raided the larder.
