Salmon tartare
Salmon tartare is a simple fish dish that is great as a snack. It will appeal to all those who like the combination of fresh fish with the intense flavour of onion, pickled capers and lemon juice. As a dish, tartare comes from France and originally it is a dish prepared from fresh beef. Nowadays, however, no one is surprised by vegetable tartare or fish tartare, and these different types of tartare are equally popular and can often be found on the menu of many restaurants. So if you are a fan of fresh fish dishes, such as sushi, you will definitely like this tartare. I encourage you to try the recipe for salmon tartare below and I wish you a tasty meal 🙂

Good to know when making salmon tartare.
The salmon used to prepare tartare should be of very good quality and must be as fresh as possible. For this dish, I suggest buying fish in a fish shop, not in a supermarket.
The red onion can be replaced with shallots.
