1. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and mustard.
2. Start adding the cooking oil a few drops at a time, whisking constantly.
3. When the sauce begins to emulsify, add the rest of the cooking oil and 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a thin stream, still whisking.
4. Whisk in the lime juice, 1 3/4 teaspoons of the lemon juice, the fish sauce, shallot, capers, Tabasco sauce, 1/2 teaspoon of the salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
5. Cut the salmon fillet into small dice.
6. Continue cutting the fish until chopped very fine.
7. Put the salmon in a bowl and stir in the sauce and the chopped chives, parsley and tarragon, if using.
8. Put a slice of smoked salmon on a large tray or a cookie sheet.
9. Put one sixth of the salmon tartare in the middle of the slice and shape the tartare into a patty.
10. Fold the smoked salmon over the salmon tartare.
11. Repeat for the remaining servings.
12. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
13. In a large bowl, whisk the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 teaspoons lemon juice and 1/4 teaspoon salt and a pinch of pepper.
14. Add the pea shoots and toss.
15. Divide the pea shoots among six serving plates.
16. With a wide metal spatula, invert one salmon-tartare package onto each pile of greens.
17. Top with a small scoop of caviar and serve at once with the toast.
