    • Chopped Salmon Tartare

    Sushi lovers of the world unite! Here comes a recipe just for us – a speedy, good and good for you salmon tartare recipe with avocado and a gently tangy dressing.

    What does tartare mean?

    Tartare is usually associated with steak (although lately I’ve been seeing tuna tartare on a lot of menus, yay!), and it basically means that the meat or seafood is raw or very barely cooked, chopped and mixed with a light dressing.

    Because of the raw part, you want to make sure you get the very best salmon you can find – ask your local fish store or the seafood section of your supermarket for “sushi grade” salmon. This is salmon that is intended to be served raw, and is most likely wild-caught which is what we are after.

    How do I skin a salmon filet?

    We are going to use every part of the salmon except for the skin, so here’s how you deal with that!

    Get the sharpest knife you have (a boning knife is perfect if you have one), put the salmon skin-side-down on a cutting board, and use a back and forth motion as close as you can get to in between and salmon and the skin.

    This article from the folks at Fine Cooking has some great demo pictures.

    Once you have removed the skin, you are about 10 minutes away from being done!

    Ingredients you need

    • Wild Caught Salmon
    • Avocado
    • Scallions
    • Soy Sauce
    • Sesame Oil
    • Sesame Seeds

    How to make This Recipe

    STEP 1: Put a half pound of chopped skinned salmon (you want about ¼ inch pieces), one peeled and chopped avocado and a couple of chopped scallions in a bowl and gently mix together.

    STEP 2: Combine a tablespoon each of soy sauce and sesame oil and pour over the salmon mixture.  Gently stir again.

    STEP 3: Add a tablespoon of sesame seeds and stir once more.

    STEP 4: Transfer to a pretty bowl, sprinkle with a few more sesame seeds and serve!

    Recipe FAQ

    Can I cook the salmon if I want to?

    You can – skin it first, and cook it as little as you are comfortable with, and then chop it up and go ahead with the rest of the recipe.

    Can I use tuna instead of salmon?

    You can! Ask for sushi grade tuna when you are doing your shopping.

    Can this be made ahead of time?

    Yes, if ahead of time is the same day you are going to eat it, and make sure you keep it in the fridge.

    I mean, how easy is THAT?

    Oh, and if you are thinking this would make a perfectly lovely light supper, I’m here to tell you are one thousand percent right! All you need is a fork, some crackers and a glass of wine. Happy sigh!
