Salmon Tartare

This salmon tartare is a beautifully simple preparation of raw salmon that is a celebration of freshness! The thing I love about this dish is the magic worked by the lemon juice that causes a cooked texture on the surface of the fish whilst leaving the center rare and soft. Serve with buttered crusty brown toast.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 2 servings

  • 1 (5 ounce) very fresh salmon fillet

  • 1 teaspoon minced shallot

  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh flat-leaf parsley

  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh chives

  • 1 teaspoon minced cornichon (small pickled cucumber)

  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice, or more to taste

  • sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Remove salmon skin and cut out the grey-colored bloodline so you have only the shiny pink flesh. Cut salmon into small cubes and place in a bowl.

  2. Stir in shallot, parsley, chives, pickle, lemon juice, sea salt, and pepper. Let marinate for 5 minutes before serving.
