Ingredients
- 200 grams fresh salmon, skinless and boneless
- 1 medium avocado, ripe
- 0.5 medium cucumber
- 0.25 small red onion
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon capers
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 whole grain crackers
Directions
Step 1
Begin by ensuring your salmon is fresh and sushi-grade if possible. Use a sharp knife to finely dice the salmon into small cubes, around 5mm each, and place them in a medium mixing bowl.
Step 2
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and score the flesh into small cubes. Scoop the avocado cubes into the bowl with the salmon.
Step 3
Peel the cucumber and dice half of it into small cubes, similar in size to the salmon and avocado. Add to the bowl.
Step 4
Finely dice a quarter of a small red onion and add to the salmon mixture.
Step 5
Chop the fresh dill and incorporate it into the mixture for added aroma and freshness.
Step 6
Add lemon juice and olive oil into the bowl. These will help in marinating the ingredients lightly and keep the avocado from oxidizing.
Step 7
Mix in the capers, sea salt, and black pepper. Stir gently to combine all ingredients, being careful not to mash the salmon or avocado.
Step 8
Taste the mixture and adjust seasonings if necessary. Some may prefer a bit more lemon juice or an extra sprinkle of salt.
Step 9
To serve, use a circular mold or ring to shape portions into neat stacks on plates, or serve directly accompanied by whole grain crackers for a heart-healthy crunch.
