SALMON TARTARE

A beautifully simple preparation of raw fish that is a celebration of freshness. The thing I love about this dish is the magic worked by the lemon juice. As well as imparting sharp fresh flavor, the acid in the lemon juice affects the protein in the fish, causing a cooked texture on the surface of the meat whilst leaving the centre rare and soft. Serve with buttered crusty brown toast.

2 tablespoons good olive oil
1/4 cup minced fresh dill

1 loaf seven-grain bread, thinly sliced and toasted, for serving

Tips for Making Japanese Salmon Tartare

  • Use the freshest salmon you can find. Look for fish that is bright pink or orange in color and has a firm texture.
  • Make sure to remove all the bones from the salmon before you chop it. This will help to ensure that your tartare is smooth and free of any unwanted surprises.
  • Chop the salmon into small, even pieces. This will help to ensure that it cooks evenly and that the flavors are evenly distributed.
  • Use a sharp knife to chop the salmon. This will help to create clean, even cuts and prevent the fish from becoming mushy.
  • If you are using a food processor to chop the salmon, be careful not to overprocess it. You want the salmon to be chopped, not pureed.
  • Season the salmon tartare with your favorite seasonings. Some popular options include soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and ginger.
  • Serve the salmon tartare immediately, or chill it for up to 30 minutes before serving.

Conclusion

Japanese salmon tartare is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. It is perfect for a special occasion or a casual meal. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a dish that is sure to impress your friends and family.
