Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams fresh salmon (sashimi-grade, skinless)
- 1 small shallot
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 1 tablespoon capers (drained)
- 2 teaspoons prepared horseradish
- 1 medium lemon (zest and juice)
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 4 slices rye bread or crackers (for serving)
Instructions
Ensure your salmon is fresh and sashimi-grade. Use a very sharp knife to finely dice the salmon into small, uniform pieces. Transfer it to a mixing bowl.
Peel the shallot and mince it finely. Add to the bowl with the salmon.
Chop the fresh dill and add it to the mixture, leaving a small amount aside for garnish.
Roughly chop the drained capers and add them to the bowl.
In a small bowl, combine the prepared horseradish, the zest and juice of one lemon, and the olive oil. Whisk until evenly combined and pour over the salmon mixture.
Season with sea salt and black pepper to taste. Gently stir all the ingredients together until everything is well coated in the dressing.
Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
To serve, spoon the tartare onto slices of rye bread or crackers. Garnish with the reserved dill and an optional twist of lemon.
Serve immediately and enjoy this sophisticated, refreshing dish!
