Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Fresh salmon (sushi-grade)
- 1 large Avocado
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Red onion
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro
- 0.5 unit Jalapeño
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
Instructions
Begin by preparing your workspace and ensuring your salmon is very cold, ideally just out of the refrigerator. This makes it easier to dice.
Dice the sushi-grade salmon into small, even cubes, approximately 1/4 inch in size. Transfer the diced salmon into a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Peel and pit the avocado, then dice it into similar-sized cubes and add them to the bowl with the salmon.
Finely chop the red onion and cilantro, add them to the bowl.
Halve the jalapeño, remove seeds and finely dice it, then add to the bowl, mixing carefully to avoid crushing the avocado.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the lime juice, soy sauce or tamari, Dijon mustard, and olive oil until well combined.
Pour the dressing over the salmon and avocado mixture and gently fold until all ingredients are evenly coated.
Season with salt, black pepper, and lemon zest. Gently mix again to ensure even distribution.
Taste the tartar for seasoning adjustments and add more lime juice or salt as preferred.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 10 minutes to allow flavors to meld together.
Serve the salmon tartar chilled, optionally garnished with extra cilantro or thin slices of lime.
