Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams fresh salmon fillet
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon capers, rinsed and chopped
- 1 small shallot, finely chopped
- 0.5 medium cucumber, diced
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 medium ripe avocado, diced
- 3 small radish, thinly sliced
- 0.5 cup microgreens, for garnish
Instructions
Place the fresh salmon fillet in the freezer for 15 to 20 minutes to firm up for easier slicing.
Once firm, finely dice the salmon into small cubes, approximately 1/4 inch, and place it in a mixing bowl.
Add fresh lemon juice and Dijon mustard to the salmon and gently mix to combine.
Rinse and chop the capers, finely dice the shallot, and add both to the salmon mixture.
Dice the cucumber and add it to the mixture, followed by chopped fresh dill.
Drizzle the extra-virgin olive oil over the mixture and season with ground black pepper to taste.
Fold in the diced avocado carefully to avoid mashing it, maintaining the texture.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
To serve, use a ring mold to shape portions of the tartare on plates, pressing gently to hold the form.
Garnish with thin slices of radish and a handful of microgreens.
Serve immediately and enjoy the refreshing, savory flavors with lower sodium content.
