Ingredients

• 300 g Fresh salmon steak (sushi-grade)
• 1 small Red onion
• 1.5 tbsp Capers
• 2 tbsp Fresh dill, finely chopped
• 1 tbsp Chives, finely chopped
• 1 whole Zest of lemon
• 1.5 tbsp Lemon juice
• 2 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
• 1 tsp Dijon mustard
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper, freshly ground
• 0.25 tsp Red chili flakes (optional)
• 4 pieces Bread or crackers, for serving

Directions

Step 1

Ensure the salmon steak is sushi-grade and well chilled. Use a very sharp knife to trim the skin and any visible white connective tissue from the salmon.

Step 2

Dice the salmon into small, even cubes, approximately 0.5 cm in size. Place in a mixing bowl and keep it chilled while preparing the other ingredients.

Step 3

Finely dice the red onion and rinse under cold water to mellow the flavor. Pat dry with a paper towel and add to the salmon.

Step 4

Finely chop the capers, dill, and chives. Add them to the mixture along with the lemon zest.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, Dijon mustard, salt, black pepper, and red chili flakes (if using) until emulsified.

Step 6

Pour the dressing over the salmon mixture and gently toss until evenly coated. Be careful not to over-mix as this could break down the salmon texture.

Step 7

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it chill in the refrigerator for 10–15 minutes to let the flavors meld.

Step 8

Serve the salmon tartare immediately, either plated with a ring mold for a professional look or scooped onto a plate. Accompany with fresh bread or crackers for scooping.
