Ingredients

• 300 grams fresh salmon fillet, sushi-grade
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon capers, rinsed and chopped
• 3 tablespoons red onion, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons black olives, pitted and chopped
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
• 1 medium avocado, diced
• 0.5 cup cucumber, finely diced

Directions

Step 1

Chill the salmon in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to make it easier to cut. This step is important to ensure clean and even slices.

Step 2

Once chilled, remove the skin and any pin bones from the salmon fillet. Use a sharp knife to cut the salmon into small, even cubes, about 1/4 inch in size.

Step 3

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the diced salmon, olive oil, and lemon juice. Gently mix to coat the salmon evenly.

Step 4

Add the chopped capers, red onion, black olives, parsley, sea salt, and black pepper to the salmon mixture. Fold gently with a spatula to blend all ingredients well.

Step 5

Incorporate the diced avocado and cucumber into the tartare mixture, carefully folding them in to prevent mashing.

Step 6

Taste the tartare and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice to taste.

Step 7

Let the salmon tartare rest in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 8

Serve the salmon tartare chilled on small plates, garnished with additional parsley or thinly sliced lemon, if desired.
