Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams fresh salmon fillet, skinless and boneless
- 0.25 cup red onion, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons capers, drained and finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 whole lemon, juice and zest
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 medium avocado, peeled, pitted, and diced
Instructions
Start by placing the fresh salmon fillet in the freezer for about 15 minutes to firm it up for easy slicing.
Once the salmon is slightly firm, remove it from the freezer and cut it into small, even cubes (about 1/4 inch in size) using a sharp knife.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the diced salmon, finely chopped red onion, chopped capers, dill, and parsley.
Zest and juice the lemon, and add both to the salmon mixture, ensuring the tartare is well seasoned with the citrus flavors.
Drizzle the extra-virgin olive oil and Dijon mustard onto the salmon mixture.
Add the sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, adjusting the seasoning to your taste.
Gently fold in the diced avocado, being careful not to mash it into the mixture.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve the salmon tartare in small bowls or moulded into desired shapes using a ring mold. Garnish with extra dill or parsley if desired.
