📋 Instructions

  1. 1

    Make sure the salmon is suitable for raw consumption (previously frozen at -20°C for 24h or certified for sushi). Remove the skin and bones with tweezers.

  2. 2

    Cut the salmon into 1 cm cubes with a very sharp knife. Keep refrigerated in a bowl over ice.

  3. 3

    Prepare the vinaigrette: mix soy sauce, sesame oil, lemon juice, grated ginger, honey and finely chopped red chili. Emulsify well with a fork.

  4. 4

    Pour half of the vinaigrette over the salmon, mix gently and let marinate 10 minutes in the refrigerator. No longer or it will "cook" the fish.

  5. 5

    Prepare the avocado base: mash the avocados with a fork until you get a cream with small pieces. Add lime juice, salt and pepper. Mix.

  6. 6

    Cut the cucumber into brunoise (very small 3mm dice). Finely chop the chives.

  7. 7

    Plate: using an 8 cm ring mold, place the avocado base first (1 cm height), press lightly. On top, add the drained salmon tartare.

  8. 8

    Carefully remove the ring. Decorate with the cucumber brunoise, chopped chives, toasted sesame seeds and a few drops of the remaining vinaigrette.

  9. 9

    Serve immediately, very cold, accompanied by rice crackers or melba toast.
