Ingredients

• 400 grams Fresh salmon fillet, skinless
• 1 medium Avocado, ripe
• 1 medium Cucumber, deseeded
• 0.25 whole Red onion
• 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
• 1 whole Lemon
• 1 tablespoon Extra virgin olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Capers, rinsed
• 1 teaspoon Low-sodium soy sauce
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 100 grams Whole grain crackers

Directions

Step 1

Begin by placing the fresh salmon fillet in the freezer for about 10 minutes, which will make it easier to dice finely.

Step 2

While the salmon is chilling, peel and pit the avocado. Dice it into small cubes and place in a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

Deseed and finely dice the cucumber. Add the cucumber to the bowl with the avocado.

Step 4

Finely chop the red onion into small pieces and add it to the bowl.

Step 5

Chop the fresh dill and add it to the mix.

Step 6

Once the salmon has slightly firmed up, remove it from the freezer. Use a sharp knife to dice it finely and add it to the bowl with the vegetables.

Step 7

Zest the lemon over the mixture, then cut the lemon in half and squeeze the juice from one half into the bowl. Be careful to remove any seeds.

Step 8

Drizzle in the extra virgin olive oil.

Step 9

Rinse the capers to remove excess salt and chop them finely before adding to the mixture.

Step 10

Pour in the low-sodium soy sauce over the mix and sprinkle the ground black pepper.

Step 11

Gently toss all ingredients together until well combined. Adjust seasoning with additional lemon juice or black pepper if needed.

Step 12

Serve the salmon tartare immediately with whole grain crackers on the side.
