<li>Beat the egg whites until stiff, and fold in the sugar and add the red colouring. Mix for two minutes.</li>
<li>With a spatula, stir in the sugar and ground almonds, then using a piper, form macarons with the mixture (gently fold the mixture. It must become soft and shiny and make a ribbon).</li>

<li>Cook in the oven at 160°C for 15 to 20 min.</li>
<li>Peel the lemon and cut it into segments. Cut the salmon into strips.<br /> Cook the Polpa – Finely chopped tomatoes to obtain a drier sauce. Season with salt and pepper and let cool completely.</li>
<li>On half of the macarons arrange a strip of smoked salmon, a small spoonful of tomato pulp and a piece of lemon. Then cover with the remaining macarons.<br /> Leave the macarons to rest overnight in the refrigerator before serving.</li>
