Salmon tartare with avocado is a French dish that is very popular in European countries. The raw products that make up the composition give piquancy. What matters is how you cut and serve. Since red fish is quite fatty, calorie content can be reduced by excluding oil and mayonnaise from the composition.
Secrets of making salmon and avocado tartare
Buying quality products is the key to a good result. Tartare is made from raw salmon, which means that special attention should be paid to the choice of fish.
Signs of a fresh product:
- the smell of cucumber or sea, but by no means fish;
- light eyes without clouding;
- the gills are light and bright in color;
- the dent immediately disappears after pressing.
You should also choose a ripe avocado so that there is no slight bitterness in the dish.
It is better to hold the meat of fresh salmon in water with the addition of salt for 30 minutes, cutting the carcass into pieces. Fish in tartare are often accompanied by capers, cucumbers - fresh or pickled, onions (shallots, red, chives).
To lay out a dish beautifully, chefs often use a serving ring. If it is absent, then you can take any shape in which the appetizer is laid in layers, and then simply turned over on a plate. The food inside should not be strongly tamped, just press lightly.
