Salmon tartar
For a change you can add one part of smoked salmon in the mixture (about 1/3). You can also wrap the tartar mixture in a slice of smoked salmon to get a parcel.
We use salmon in this recipe but other fishes can be used such as sea bass, sea bream, cod, tuna etc. Needless to say as this recipe is eaten raw the freshness of the fish must be perfect. Do not hesitate to tell the fishmonger that you are preparing a tartar.
Serves 4
Ingredients
1lb trimmed salmon flesh
1 tbsp chopped chives
2 medium chopped shallots
1tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp chopped coriander
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper (from the mill)
A few drops of Tabasco sauce
and Worcestershire sauce if you like
Preparation
1- Cut the salmon in to small cubes (about 0.08inch); or grind in a meat grinder, using the biggest holes available.
2- Place in a mixing bowl.
3- Add the chives, the shallots, the coriander, the olive oil, salt and pepper, Tabasco and Worcestershire sauce if you have chosen to use them.
4- Mix everything well.
5- Check the taste and correct if necessary.
6- Serve casually in the mixing bowl or arrange the salmon tartar on plates with a garnish of cherry tomato, chives, parsley, and salad leaves.
Note
If you like you can add lemon juice to the mixture; in this case serve immediately as the lemon juice will ”cook” the salmon. If you do not use lemon juice you can keep it a few hours in the refrigerator.
The salmon tartar is delicious eaten with toasted bread.
