Roast the almonds in a pan without fat until golden brown, take them out. Bring milk and salt to the boil in a saucepan. Mix semolina and 3 tablespoons of sugar, stir in and bring to the boil while stirring. Remove from the stove. Cover and let it swell for about 5 minutes.
Coat about half of a baking tray with oil. Fold the flaked almonds into the semolina. Put the semolina on the oiled baking tray and spread it to a rectangular plate (approx. 16 x 30 cm). Let it cool down.
Wash 1 lime, grate dry, grate peel. Peel all citrus fruits with a knife in such a way that the white skin is also removed. Cut out the fillets between the parting skins, catching the juice.
Squeeze the parting skins with your hands and collect the resulting juice as well.
Caramelise 75 g sugar in a frying pan. Deglaze with citrus juice, add aniseed and simmer until the caramel has dissolved. Stir the starch with a little water until smooth, stir in and simmer for about 1 minute.
Mix in the lime zest and citrus fillets and remove from the heat, allow to cool.
Cut the semolina plate into about 18 triangles. Melt butter in a pan. Fry the semolina triangles in it in portions until golden brown. Drain on kitchen paper. Wash the lemon balm and dab dry. Pluck off leaves and chop finely, except for a little garnish.
Mix the chopped lemon balm into the salad. Arrange semolina slices with citrus salad and decorate with lemon balm leaves and pistachios.
