Method

Preparation of Ingredients

  1. 1

    Prepare the Salmon

    Using a sharp knife, dice the fresh salmon fillet into small cubes (about 1/2 inch). Place the diced salmon in a medium-sized mixing bowl.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Avocado

    Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. Dice the avocado into small cubes and add them to the bowl with the salmon.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Cucumber

    Peel the cucumber if desired, then slice it in half lengthwise. Remove the seeds with a spoon and dice the cucumber into small pieces, adding them to the mixing bowl.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Red Onion

    Finely chop the red onion and add it to the bowl with the other ingredients.

  5. 5

    Add Capers and Dill

    Drain the capers and chop them roughly, then add them to the bowl along with the fresh dill.

Mixing and Seasoning

  1. 6

    Mix Ingredients

    Gently fold all the prepared ingredients together in the mixing bowl, being careful not to mash the avocado.

  2. 7

    Add Lemon Juice and Olive Oil

    Drizzle the lemon juice and olive oil over the mixture. Add salt and black pepper to taste. Stir gently to combine all the flavors.

Chilling and Serving

  1. 8

    Chill the Tartare

    Cover the mixing bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

  2. 9

    Serve

    Spoon the chilled salmon tartare onto a serving platter and serve with tortilla chips or crackers on the side.
