Ingredients

  • ½ lb salmon fillet (sushi-grade)
  • 1 avocado
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. 1

    Dice the 0.5 lb salmon into small cubes, about 1/4 inch. Place in a bowl and chill in the refrigerator while you prepare the other ingredients.

  2. 2

    Cut the 1 avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh out. Dice into similar-sized cubes as the salmon.

  3. 3

    In a small bowl, whisk together the 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp sesame oil, 1 tbsp lemon juice, 0.25 tsp salt, and 0.25 tsp black pepper.

  4. 4

    Gently combine the diced salmon and avocado in a mixing bowl. Pour the dressing over and toss carefully to coat without mashing the avocado.

  5. 5

    Chop the 2 tbsp fresh parsley and sprinkle over the tartare. Serve immediately, optionally with crackers or toast.

  6. 6

    For best texture, keep the tartare chilled until serving and avoid overmixing.
