Salmon Tartare is a fresh and light starter, ideal to serve at the beginning of a seafood menu.

Salmon tartare is raw salmon, so you need to ensure that the salmon is very fresh and can be eaten raw, similar to the salmon used for Sushi.

It should have been kept at -20 C for at least 7 days, to ensure all parasites have been killed. Always check with your fishmonger.

As a matter of interest, I always cut my fish over a dedicated fish board as it is more hygienic.

I use an Index Chopping Board Set  you can find on Amazon (affiliate link)

Each board is colour coded and has a symbol indicating its use e.g. meat (red), fish (blue), vegetables (green), and cooked food (white).

  3. Salmon is my favourite although I always have it in different dishes rather than a tartare. But this looks so good and the tips you provided are useful! Thanks for sharing!
