Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams fresh salmon fillet (skinned and boneless)
- 1 whole lime
- 1 whole ripe avocado
- 0.5 whole red onion
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives
- 1 tablespoon capers
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 drops Tabasco sauce
Instructions
Begin by ensuring that the salmon is properly chilled. Slice the salmon fillet into very small cubes, about 0.5 cm in size. Place the diced salmon into a medium mixing bowl and set aside in the refrigerator to keep it cold while preparing other ingredients.
Juice the lime and set the juice aside.
Peel and pit the avocado. Dice the avocado into small cubes similar in size to the salmon and place them in a small bowl. Pour half of the lime juice over the avocado cubes to prevent browning and gently mix.
Finely dice the half red onion and add it to the bowl containing the salmon.
Chop the fresh chives and add them to the salmon mixture.
Roughly chop the capers and add to the salmon along with the Dijon mustard.
Drizzle the extra-virgin olive oil over the salmon mixture. Add the remaining lime juice, sea salt, black pepper, and Tabasco sauce. Mix gently but thoroughly, taking care not to mash the avocado or salmon.
Taste the mixture and adjust seasoning if necessary. Add more lime juice or salt according to preference.
Using a round mold or a small cup, press the salmon tartare mixture firmly into shape, then invert onto a plate to serve. Repeat for each serving.
Garnish with additional chives or capers if desired and serve immediately, alongside toast points or crisp crackers for added texture.
