This Ina Garten Salmon Tartare Recipe is the perfect choice. It is fresh, cold, and full of flavor.
Ingredients
- 1 pound of very fresh skinless salmon.
- 2 tablespoons of good olive oil.
- 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice.
- 2 tablespoons of minced fresh chives.
- 1 tablespoon of drained small salty capers.
- 1 teaspoon of hot toasted sesame oil.
- 1/2 teaspoon of pure kosher salt.
- 1/4 teaspoon of ground black pepper.
- 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard.
Instructions
Chill the Fish
- Put your fresh salmon in the freezer first. Keep it there for twenty minutes to firm.
Cut the Salmon
- Use your sharp knife to dice the fish. Make the cubes very small and even size.
Mix the Dressing
- Whisk the olive oil, lemon, and mustard together. Add the sesame oil for a nutty smell.
Combine the Ingredients
- Put the fish cubes into the chilled bowl. Add the chives, capers, salt, and black pepper.
Add the Sauce
- Pour the mustard dressing over the diced salmon. Toss it very gently with your rubber spatula.
Chill Before Serving
- Cover the glass bowl with some plastic wrap. Put it in the fridge for thirty minutes.
Plate the Dish
- Place a mold on a cold white plate. Fill it with tartare and lift it up.
Notes
- Only use sushi-grade fish for this raw dish.
- Keep everything very cold while you are working.
- Dice the fish by hand, not a machine.
- Add a little avocado for a creamy texture.
- Serve it with toasted bread or cucumber slices.
- Use a very sharp knife to avoid mashing.
- Eat it the same day you make it.
