Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Fresh sashimi-grade salmon
- 2 tablespoons Shallots
- 1 tablespoon Capers
- 2 tablespoons Chives
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 whole Avocado
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 handful Microgreens
- 12 pieces Crackers or toasted bread slices
Instructions
Start by finely dicing the sashimi-grade salmon into small, uniform pieces. Set aside in a large mixing bowl.
Finely mince the shallots and capers, then add them to the bowl with the salmon.
Chop the chives finely and add them to the salmon mixture.
Add lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, freshly ground black pepper, and salt to the salmon mixture. Gently combine all ingredients, being careful not to over-mix to maintain the salmon's texture.
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a separate bowl. Mash lightly with a fork, ensuring it remains chunky.
Add lemon zest and Dijon mustard to the mashed avocado and mix gently.
Place a serving ring mold on a plate and spoon a portion of the avocado mixture into the base, pressing down gently.
Top the avocado layer with a portion of the salmon tartar, pressing down lightly to ensure a firm shape. Carefully remove the ring mold.
Garnish each serving with a few microgreens for freshness.
Serve immediately with crackers or toasted bread slices on the side for scooping.
