Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams fresh sushi-grade salmon
- 0.5 small red onion
- 2 tablespoons capers
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 medium avocado
- 1 small cucumber
- 2 large hard-boiled eggs
Instructions
Dice the fresh sushi-grade salmon into small cubes, about 1/4 inch in size. Place them in a medium-sized bowl.
Finely chop the red onion and add it to the bowl with the salmon.
Roughly chop the capers and add them to the mix.
Chop the fresh dill and add two tablespoons to the salmon mixture.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and olive oil until fully combined. Pour this dressing over the salmon mixture.
Season the mixture with salt and black pepper. Gently mix all ingredients until the salmon is well coated with the dressing.
Peel and dice the avocado into small cubes and finely chop the cucumber. Add them to the salmon mixture and gently fold to combine.
Chop the hard-boiled eggs and gently fold them into the tartare to increase protein content.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 15 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
Serve the tartare chilled, either on a plate with toasty bread slices or inside halved avocados for an additional protein boost.
