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.

Categories     appetizer

Time 3h20m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound skinless fresh salmon fillet
1/2 pound smoked salmon, thickly sliced
1/3 cup freshly squeezed lime juice (3 limes)
1/3 cup minced shallots (2 shallots)
2 tablespoons good olive oil
1/4 cup minced fresh dill
3 tablespoons drained capers
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon whole-grain mustard
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
1 loaf seven-grain bread, thinly sliced and toasted, for serving

Steps:

  • Cut the fresh salmon and the smoked salmon in 1/4-inch dice. Place the salmon in a mixing bowl and add the lime juice, shallots, olive oil, dill, capers, two mustards, salt, and pepper. Mix well, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for a few hours for the salmon to marinate.
  • When ready to serve, toast the bread and taste the salmon for seasonings. Serve the tartare with triangles of the toast.

Tips:

  • For the best tartare, use the freshest fish possible. Look for fish that is bright in color and has a mild, briny smell.
  • Make sure to finely chop the fish. This will help create a smooth, even texture.
  • If you are using a food processor to chop the fish, be careful not to over-process it. You want the fish to be chopped, not pureed.
  • Season the tartare to taste. You can use a variety of seasonings, such as lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. You can also add herbs, such as dill, chives, or parsley.
  • Serve the tartare immediately. It is best when it is fresh.

Conclusion:

Salmon or tuna tartare is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, main course, or snack. It is a great way to use up leftover fish and is also a healthy and nutritious meal. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a delicious tartare that will impress your friends and family.
