Ingredients
- 250 grams fresh salmon fillet
- 1 medium avocado
- 0.5 medium cucumber
- 0.25 small red onion
- 1 tablespoon capers
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoons sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Begin by ensuring your salmon fillet is fresh and skinless.
Step 2
Dice the salmon into small, bite-sized cubes, about 0.5 cm, and place in a mixing bowl.
Step 3
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit and scoop the flesh out. Dice it into small cubes similar in size to the salmon.
Step 4
Peel and finely dice the red onion.
Step 5
Slice the cucumber in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds with a spoon, then dice it finely.
Step 6
Finely chop the fresh dill.
Step 7
Add the diced avocado, red onion, cucumber, capers, and dill to the mixing bowl with the salmon.
Step 8
Drizzle the olive oil and lemon juice over the mix.
Step 9
Season with sea salt and black pepper, then gently mix all ingredients until well combined, being careful not to mash the avocado.
Step 10
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it sit in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes to let the flavors meld.
Step 11
Before serving, give the tartar one last gentle stir, then taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or lemon juice if needed.
Step 12
Serve immediately, either by molding the tartar into a tight circle on a plate using a ring mold, or simply spoon it into small bowls as desired.
