Steps

Begin by finely dicing the salmon fillet into small cubes and placing it in a mixing bowl.
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into the bowl with the salmon. Gently mash the avocado with a fork while leaving some chunks.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper to create the vinaigrette.
Pour the vinaigrette over the salmon and avocado mixture, and gently fold to combine without mashing.
Using a ring mold, carefully layer the mixture onto a plate to form a neat stack.
Garnish with lime zest, microgreens, or edible flowers for an elegant touch.
Serve immediately for the freshest flavor.

Tips for Avocado & Salmon Tartare with Citrus Vinaigrette

Choose salmon sold for raw consumption from a trusted source; keep it cold and use a clean, separate board and knife.
A ripe avocado should yield gently to pressure but not feel mushy; overripe flesh can make the tartare greasy.
Have plates and garnish ready before assembling, since the lime can dull the avocado's bright green color.

Drink pairing

A crisp, dry sparkling wine
Its lively acidity and bubbles complement the creamy avocado and fresh citrus without overpowering the salmon.

0% option: Chilled sparkling water with a squeeze of lime

Storage

This raw-fish tartare is best eaten fresh the same day. Keep any leftovers covered and chilled, and discard them if they have been unrefrigerated for over 2 hours.

Frequently asked questions

Can I make the tartare ahead?

For the best color and texture, prepare it just before serving. You can measure the vinaigrette ingredients ahead and keep them covered and chilled.

How can I tell if the tartare is well balanced?

It should taste bright and lightly tangy, with distinct salmon and avocado pieces rather than a uniform mash. Adjust seasoning sparingly so the fresh flavors remain clear.
