Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams fresh salmon (sushi-grade)
- 200 grams fresh tuna (sushi-grade)
- 50 grams caviar (your choice of roe)
- 100 grams crème fraîche
- 1 small shallot, finely minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives, finely chopped
- 2 teaspoons lime juice
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
- 1 handful microgreens or fresh herbs for garnish
- 200 grams crackers or toasted baguette slices (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Dice the salmon and tuna into small, uniform cubes (about 5mm in size). Place each fish in separate bowls.
To the bowl of salmon, add half of the minced shallot, 1 tablespoon of chopped chives, 1 teaspoon of lime juice, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon of sea salt, and a pinch of black pepper. Gently mix to combine and set aside.
To the bowl of tuna, add the remaining minced shallot, 1 tablespoon of chopped chives, 1 teaspoon of lime juice, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon of sea salt, and a pinch of black pepper. Gently mix to combine and set aside.
Using a small ring mold (approximately 6-8 cm in diameter), begin layering the parfait on a serving plate. Start by adding the salmon tartare as the first layer and press it gently to ensure evenness.
Add the tuna tartare on top of the salmon layer, pressing gently to form distinct layers without mixing.
Spoon a small dollop of crème fraîche on top of the tuna layer and spread it evenly, leaving a little space around the edges for presentation.
Top the crème fraîche with a generous teaspoon of caviar, arranging it neatly in the center.
Carefully lift the ring mold to reveal the layered parfait. Repeat this process for the remaining servings.
Garnish each parfait with microgreens or fresh herbs for a pop of color and freshness.
Serve immediately with crackers or toasted baguette slices on the side, if desired.
