Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams fresh salmon, skinless and boneless
- 1 medium avocado, ripe
- 0.5 medium cucumber
- 0.25 small red onion
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon capers
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 whole grain crackers
Instructions
Begin by ensuring your salmon is fresh and sushi-grade if possible. Use a sharp knife to finely dice the salmon into small cubes, around 5mm each, and place them in a medium mixing bowl.
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and score the flesh into small cubes. Scoop the avocado cubes into the bowl with the salmon.
Peel the cucumber and dice half of it into small cubes, similar in size to the salmon and avocado. Add to the bowl.
Finely dice a quarter of a small red onion and add to the salmon mixture.
Chop the fresh dill and incorporate it into the mixture for added aroma and freshness.
Add lemon juice and olive oil into the bowl. These will help in marinating the ingredients lightly and keep the avocado from oxidizing.
Mix in the capers, sea salt, and black pepper. Stir gently to combine all ingredients, being careful not to mash the salmon or avocado.
Taste the mixture and adjust seasonings if necessary. Some may prefer a bit more lemon juice or an extra sprinkle of salt.
To serve, use a circular mold or ring to shape portions into neat stacks on plates, or serve directly accompanied by whole grain crackers for a heart-healthy crunch.
