Salmon Tartare With Apple Dill Gherkins Recipes

SALMON TARTARE WITH APPLE, DILL & GHERKINS

Steps:

• Lightly toast the caraway seeds in a dry pan, then set aside to cool. Very finely chop the fresh and smoked salmon, shallots, dill (save a little for the garnish), gherkins and apple. The pieces should be about the size of a petit pois pea. This can be done up to a day before serving, cover well and store in the fridge.
• Just before serving, season well with flaky salt, and mix with the caraway seeds, lemon juice, horseradish sauce, 50ml extra virgin olive oil and the crème fraîche. Divide the salmon between eight plates, garnish with the rest of the crème fraîche, drizzle with the remaining olive oil and sprinkle over some dill. Serve with rye crackers and celery for dipping and spreading the salmon on.

SALMON TARTAR

Steps:

• Cut salmon in small pieces, about 1/4-inch thick. Set aside or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Slice cucumber into very thin (almost transparent) rounds and set aside.
• In a medium bowl, mix together the shallots, dill, chives, capers, lemon juice, and mayonnaise. Cover and refrigerate if not using immediately. Just before serving, add the tomatoes to the mayonnaise mixture and stir to combine.
• On a serving plate, spread the cucumber to cover 2/3 of the plate, leaving a space in the center of the plate. Spread the mayonnaise mixture in the center of the plate and then arrange the salmon over the cucumber. Garnish with endive pieces around the edges.

FRESH SALMON TARTARE

Steps:

• Cut the fresh salmon and the smoked salmon in 1/4-inch dice. Place the salmon in a mixing bowl and add the lime juice, shallots, olive oil, dill, capers, two mustards, salt, and pepper. Mix well, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for a few hours for the salmon to marinate.
• When ready to serve, toast the bread and taste the salmon for seasonings. Serve the tartare with triangles of the toast.

Steps:

• Carefully pick over the salmon to remove all traces of bone. Cut away and discard any flesh that has a darkened tinge.
• Put the salmon on a flat surface and chop it finely with a knife. Do not use a food processor or a blender. You do not want to make a smooth paste. There should be about two cups or slightly less, closely packed.
• Put the salmon in a mixing bowl and add the dill, oil, lime juice, salt, pepper and onions. Stir to blend thoroughly. Serve in small portions with dill and mustard sauce on the side and buttered toast triangles.
