Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Salmon Tartare
  1. Start by carefully dicing the sushi-grade salmon into small, bite-sized cubes, ensuring uniformity for even flavor. Aim for a size similar to half an inch for the best texture. Place the diced salmon into a mixing bowl, allowing it to take center stage in your delightful Salmon Tartare.
  2. Next, add the zesty lime juice, finely chopped fresh herbs, and jalapeño to the bowl with the salmon. Use freshly squeezed lime juice for maximum brightness.
  3. Drizzle in the olive oil, and sprinkle the finely chopped capers and sea salt over the salmon mixture. Gently fold the ingredients together using a spatula to ensure even distribution without mashing the avocado.
  4. Once combined, take a moment to taste the mixture for seasoning. If needed, adjust the lime juice, salt, or jalapeño to suit your palate.
  5. For the best flavor and texture, serve your Salmon Tartare immediately in chilled bowls. You might also consider garnishing with additional herbs or lime wedges for a touch of elegance.
