Ingredients

• 300 grams fresh salmon fillet, skinless and boneless
• 0.25 cup red onion, finely diced
• 2 tablespoons fresh chives, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon capers, drained and chopped
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (Whole30 compliant)
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice, freshly squeezed
• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
• 1 avocado, sliced for serving
• 2 cups mixed greens for serving

Directions

Step 1

1. Begin by placing the fresh salmon fillet in the freezer for about 15 minutes. This will make it easier to dice finely.

Step 2

2. While the salmon is chilling, prepare the other ingredients. Finely dice the red onion, chop the fresh chives, and chop the capers.

Step 3

3. Once the salmon is slightly firm, remove it from the freezer. Using a sharp knife, dice the salmon into small, 1/4-inch cubes.

Step 4

4. In a medium bowl, combine the diced salmon, red onion, chives, and capers.

Step 5

5. In a small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, freshly squeezed lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper.

Step 6

6. Pour the dressing over the salmon mixture and gently stir to combine. Be careful not to mash the salmon pieces.

Step 7

7. Cover the mixture and refrigerate for about 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 8

8. To serve, arrange mixed greens on a serving platter. Spoon the salmon tartar mixture over the greens.

Step 9

9. Garnish with sliced avocado and additional chives if desired. Serve immediately.
