Salmon and Cucumber Tartare With Wasabi Sauce image

This makes a delightful hors d'oeuvre, appetizer or even a light supper. If you're serving it as an hors d'oeuvre you can spoon it onto cucumber rounds, small endive leaves or toasted pita triangles. The better the salmon, the better this will be (sashimi grade is the best).

Time 10m

Yield 4 to 6 appetizer servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 pound salmon fillet, skin and small bones removed
1 cup (about 5 ounces) finely diced cucumber
1 medium size shallot, minced
2 tablespoons capers, rinsed and chopped
1 to 2 tablespoons minced pickled ginger (available in Japanese markets), to taste, plus additional pickled ginger for garnish
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons wasabi paste
1 tablespoon seasoned rice vinegar
1 teaspoon soy sauce
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Chopped chives for garnish

Steps:

  • Make sure there are no small pin bones in the salmon. Remove with tweezers if there are, then mince the fish very fine. Combine with the cucumber in a medium bowl.
  • Rinse the shallot with cold water and drain on a paper towel. Add to the salmon and cucumber. Add the capers, minced pickled ginger, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper, and lemon juice and toss together.
  • In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the wasabi or horseradish, vinegar, soy sauce, and olive oil. Toss with the fish and cucumber mixture. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • To serve, spoon onto cucumber rounds or pita triangles, or mold in plastic wrap-lined ramekins and unmold onto plates as a first course. Sprinkle with chives and garnish with pickled ginger.

This was the worst salmon dish I have ever had. The salmon was dry and tasteless, the cucumber was limp and flavorless, and the wasabi sauce was like watered-down horseradish. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I'm not sure what went wrong with this recipe, but it turned out terrible. The salmon was overcooked and the cucumber was mushy. The wasabi sauce was also very watery. I would not recommend this recipe.

This dish was a disappointment. The salmon was not very fresh and the cucumber was bland. The wasabi sauce was also too spicy. I would not recommend this recipe.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The salmon and cucumber were fresh, but the wasabi sauce was a bit too overpowering. I would recommend using less wasabi sauce next time.

I was a bit hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of raw fish. But I'm so glad I did! The salmon and cucumber were so fresh and delicious, and the wasabi sauce was the perfect complement. I'll definitely be making this again.

This salmon and cucumber tartare was a delightful dish! The flavors of the salmon, cucumber, and wasabi sauce complemented each other perfectly. The texture was also spot-on - the salmon was tender and flaky, while the cucumber added a refreshing cru
