Ingredients

• 250 grams Fresh sushi-grade salmon
• 1 medium-sized Avocado
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh cilantro
• 2 tablespoons Red onion
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Capers
• 1 tablespoon Pickled ginger
• 0.5 medium-sized Cucumber

Directions

Step 1

Start by ensuring your work area is clean and prepared. Dice the sushi-grade salmon into small, even cubes, about 0.5 cm in size. Place in a medium-sized mixing bowl.

Step 2

Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. Dice it into similar size cubes as the salmon and add it to the mixing bowl.

Step 3

Add the lime juice and olive oil to the salmon and avocado. Gently mix to ensure all pieces are coated, which will help prevent the avocado from browning.

Step 4

Finely chop the red onion and cilantro, and add them to the bowl along with the salt, freshly ground black pepper, capers, and pickled ginger. Mix everything gently to combine evenly.

Step 5

Take the cucumber and peel it if desired. Slice it thinly to act as a base or accompaniment for the tartare.

Step 6

Taste the salmon tartare mixture and adjust the seasoning to your preference, adding more lime juice, salt, or pepper if necessary.

Step 7

To serve, either use a ring mold to form the tartare into neat circles or spoon it directly onto plates. Surround it with cucumber slices or serve them on the side.

Step 8

Garnish the tartare with additional cilantro if desired, and serve immediately.
