SALMON OR TUNA TARTARE
I like to serve this on endive leaves, red pepper squares or rounds of cucumber. You also could top crostini with it. Don't make it too far ahead of serving, because you don't want the fish to cook in the lime juice and you won't have the glistening color or flavor.

Steps:
- Sprinkle the cucumber with salt, and let sit for 15 minutes while you prepare the remaining ingredients. Then rinse and drain on paper towels. Meanwhile, place the shallots in a bowl and cover with cold water. Let sit five minutes, then drain, rinse and drain again on paper towels.
- In a medium bowl, toss the cucumber, fish, shallots, cilantro and capers with lime juice, rice vinegar and olive oil. Season with salt; if you want to add a little spice, add a pinch of cayenne. Taste and adjust seasonings. Chill until ready to serve (but not too long). Place spoonfuls on endive leaves, red pepper squares, cucumber rounds or croutons, and serve.

Steps:
- Cut salmon in small pieces, about 1/4-inch thick. Set aside or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. Slice cucumber into very thin (almost transparent) rounds and set aside. In a medium bowl, mix together the shallots, dill, chives, capers, lemon juice and finally add the salmon. Cover and refrigerate if not using immediately. Just before serving, chop the tomatoes, season with salt and pepper and a sprinkling of olive oil, and stir to combine. On a serving plate, spread the cucumber slices to cover 2/3 of the plate, leaving a space in the center of the plate. Then arrange the salmon over the cucumber, then top with the seasoned tomatoes. Garnish with sliced avocado and chopped chives. Serve with endive, toast points or crackers.
SALMON TARTARE
A beautifully simple preparation of raw fish that is a celebration of freshness. The thing I love about this dish is the magic worked by the lemon juice. As well as imparting sharp fresh flavor, the acid in the lemon juice affects the protein in the fish, causing a cooked texture on the surface of the meat whilst leaving the centre rare and soft. Serve with buttered crusty brown toast.

PARFAIT OF SALMON AND TUNA TARTARE, CAVIAR AND CREME FRAICHE
This buttery textured parfait of tuna and salmon makes a refreshing starter for any special meal. The savory pearls of caviar topped with a sliver of creme fraiche combine elegantly with the piquant flavoured fish. It goes together very easily and the end result is very impressive and tasty! If you can't get mustard oil in your area, a good substitute is 2 TBS olive oil mixed with 1/2 TBS dry mustard powder. Cook time is chill time.
