    In a pan over medium heat, gently combine the sliced grilled onion, cooked peas, vegetable stock, and butter. Heat until the butter melts and the mixture is warmed through, being careful not to boil.
  3. Assemble the Dish
    Plate a portion of pasta in each dish. Add a dollop of plain Greek yogurt (about 1 tablespoon) and top with 1/4 ounce of American Salmon Caviar. Drizzle the warm onion and pea mixture around the pasta for a burst of color and flavor.
