Main Ingredients
- 6 oz sushi-grade salmon fillet, finely diced
- 1 small cooked beetroot, finely diced
- 1 ripe avocado, peeled, pitted, and diced
- 1 tbsp finely chopped red onion
- 1 tbsp capers, drained and chopped
- 1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
- 1 tbsp chives, chopped
Dressing
- 2 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions
- Prepare the ingredients: Finely dice the sushi-grade salmon fillet, cooked beetroot, and ripe avocado. Finely chop the red onion, capers, fresh dill, and chives. Place all these prepared ingredients into a mixing bowl.
- Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and extra virgin olive oil until the mixture is emulsified and well combined.
- Combine tartare and dressing: Pour the dressing over the salmon mixture and gently fold everything together carefully, ensuring not to mash the avocado so the texture remains intact and fresh.
- Season: Add salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste, adjusting seasoning as needed.
- Shape and serve: If desired, use a ring mold to neatly shape the tartare on a serving plate. Garnish with microgreens or sprouts for an elegant finish. Serve immediately to enjoy the freshness of the dish.
Notes
- Use only very fresh, sushi-grade salmon because the dish is served raw.
- You can prepare the dressing and chop the ingredients ahead of time, but combine them just before serving to maintain the vibrant colors and textures.
- For an added twist, serve the tartare with toasted baguette slices or crackers to add a crunchy contrast.
