Recipe for an easy and delicious starter or light lunch – salmon tartare with avocado.
Servings 4 servings
Ingredients
- 200 g fresh salmon, cut into small dice
- 2-3 avocados, cut into small dice
- 1/4 small red onion, finely chopped
- 1/4-1/2 fresh green chilli, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp finely chopped chives
- 2 tsp sesame oil
- 2 tsp lemon juice
- 1 1/2 tsp soy sauce
- Finely grated lemon zest, to finish
- Salt and pepper
Instructions
- Mix the sesame oil, lemon juice and soy sauce.Taste and adjust if you would like it sharper, or with more soy sauce or more oil.*If you want to stop the salmon from curing – that is, from changing colour on the surface – leave the lemon juice out of the marinade and squeeze it over the finished dish at the end instead. The lemon juice cures the salmon slightly, giving it a pale, whitish surface.
- Mix the salmon with the chives, chilli and red onion, and stir well.
- Add the marinade, stir to combine and finally fold in the avocado pieces gently.
- Spoon the salmon tartare into a ring mould and press it down lightly with the back of a spoon before lifting off the ring. You can also simply pile the tartare onto a plate, rustic style, if you don't have a ring mould.
- Just before serving, top the salmon tartare with finely grated lemon zest and season with a little salt and pepper.Serve with grilled or toasted slices of bread, toasted Danish rye bread (rugbrød) or similar, if you like.
