Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams fresh salmon fillet
- 50 grams low-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon capers
- 1 small red onion
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 medium avocado
- 0.5 medium cucumber
- 1 tablespoon chives
Instructions
Start by placing the salmon fillet in the freezer for about 10 minutes to firm it up, making it easier to dice.
While the salmon is lightly freezing, finely dice the red onion and rinse and drain the capers. Set these aside.
Remove the salmon from the freezer and use a sharp knife to cut it into very small cubes, around 1/4 inch in size. Place the diced salmon in a mixing bowl.
Add the low-fat Greek yogurt and Dijon mustard to the salmon, stirring gently to combine.
Integrate the capers, diced red onion, and freshly chopped dill into the salmon mixture.
Squeeze the lemon juice over the mixture, and season it with salt and pepper according to your taste, mixing gently to ensure even distribution of flavors.
Peel and pit the avocado, then dice it into small cubes of similar size to the salmon. Dice the cucumber in a similar manner.
Carefully fold in the avocado and cucumber into the salmon mixture, being mindful not to mash the avocado.
For presentation, use a ring mold if desired to shape the tartar neatly on serving plates.
Finally, finely chop the chives and sprinkle over the salmon tartar just before serving.
