SALMON OR TUNA TARTARE



Salmon or Tuna Tartare image

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.

SALMON TARTARE



Salmon Tartare image

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.

FLAKED SALMON "TARTARE"



Flaked Salmon

Experts recommend eating at least two servings of fatty fish, such as salmon, herring, or tuna, per week. In this dish, bold capers and fresh herbs -- classic beef tartare add-ins -- brighten the buttery flavor of flaked baked salmon.

Parfait of Salmon and Tuna Tartare, Caviar and Creme Fraiche image

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.
