Some words about the ingredients that are the most important here.
Salmon
Take the fresh one, not unfrozen. As we won’t fry or bake salmon, it must be of excellent quality. The best way is if you go to the farmers market and they cut some filets for you from the whole fish. If it’s impossible, buy the freshest you find. Moreover, salmon is not just tasty, it is also a great source of many key nutrients, including selenium, phosphorus, and B vitamins.
Avocado
Here we need to use ripe fruit but not over-ripe. It has to have green color without brown parts. As the recipe is from 2 key ingredients, avocado must look beautiful and tastes creamy, not hard.
Salmon marinade
As we don’t do anything to the salmon, we must marinade it. So for the marinade, we mix lemon juice, chopped red onion, olive oil, salt, pepper, and fresh chili pepper (that’s optional, as if you don’t like spiciness, you can skip it).
Let’s go to the recipe!
METHOD:
1. Let’s prepare the salmon marinade. Chop red onion and chili pepper.
2. Mix red onion, chili, lemon juice, olive oil, a pinch of salt, and pepper in a bowl.
3. Cut salmon filet into 1cm cubes. Put them in the bowl with marinade, and mix them all together. Let it marinate for about 15mins.
4. While the salmon is marinating, let’s prepare the avocado part. Cut avocado into 0,7-1cm pieces. Mix it with a pinch of salt and lemon juice.
5. Let’s assemble the tartare. Place an 8cm baking ring in the middle of the serving plate. Spread the avocado into the bottom of the ring. Place salmon as the next layer. Pat down gently to compress, then carefully remove the ring. Garnish with chopped scallions, a drizzle of olive oil, and freshly ground black pepper. Enjoy this Salmon Tartare with Avocado!
