salmon tartare recipe

- Yield: 4 servings 1x
- Diet: Pescatarian
Description
This salmon tartare recipe creates a vibrant, fresh, and tender dish that feels fancy but is simple to make. It’s perfect for quick meals, impressing guests, and delivering restaurant-worthy flavor for any family dinner.
Ingredients
- 1 lb (450 g) very fresh, sushi-grade salmon fillet, skin removed, finely diced
- 0.25 cup (40 g) finely minced red onion
- 2 tablespoons (30 g) capers, drained and roughly chopped (or use finely chopped cornichons)
- 2 tablespoons (6 g) fresh dill, chopped (or 1 tablespoon fresh chives)
- 1 to 2 tablespoons (15 to 30 ml) fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) extra virgin olive oil
- Fine sea salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare Salmon: Ensure sushi-grade salmon is very cold and pat thoroughly dry. Finely dice the salmon into 0.25-inch (5 mm) uniform cubes using a very sharp knife.
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, gently combine the diced salmon, minced red onion, chopped capers, chopped dill, and lemon juice. Add the olive oil. (Add more lemon juice or olive oil if needed to moisten.)
- Season and Refrigerate: Season with fine sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Gently fold all ingredients until just combined (do not mash). Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 to 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
- Serve Immediately: Scoop the thoroughly chilled salmon tartare onto individual plates. (Use a 3-inch (7-8 cm) ring mold for shaping if desired.) Serve immediately with desired accompaniments.
Notes
For a quicker method, dice salmon and mix ingredients directly on the serving plate. For a healthier, low-carb option, serve with crisp cucumber slices, endive spears, or lettuce wraps instead of crackers or bread. Avoid over-mixing the salmon or using warm salmon for the best texture and refreshing taste.
