Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams fresh salmon fillet
- 1 large ripe avocado
- 0.5 medium cucumber
- 0.25 small red onion
- 1 medium lime
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon capers
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Instructions
Begin by ensuring your salmon is fresh and high-quality. For safety, the salmon should be previously frozen to eliminate any parasites and thawed properly before use.
Using a sharp knife, remove any skin from the salmon and cut it into small cubes, roughly 1/4 inch in size.
Transfer the diced salmon into a large mixing bowl.
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl. Mash slightly with a fork.
Dice the cucumber into small cubes similar to the size of the salmon and add them to the bowl with the salmon.
Finely chop the red onion, fresh cilantro, and chives. Add these into the mixing bowl.
Zest the lime and set aside the zest. Then, squeeze the lime juice over the bowl, ensuring all the ingredients are evenly coated to add flavor and prevent the avocado from browning.
Add in the extra virgin olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, and Dijon mustard.
Coarsely chop the capers and add to the bowl. If preferred, the capers can be left whole or used as a garnish.
Gently fold all ingredients together with a spoon, ensuring the salmon and vegetables are well combined without breaking them down too much.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
For serving, use a ring mold to shape the tartare on individual plates, or serve it family-style in a chilled bowl.
Garnish with additional fresh herbs or a sprinkle of lime zest before serving.
Serve immediately to ensure the freshest taste and optimal texture.
