Ingredients

• 400 grams fresh sushi-grade salmon
• 0.5 small red onion
• 2 tablespoons capers
• 2 tablespoons fresh dill
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 medium avocado
• 1 small cucumber
• 2 large hard-boiled eggs

Directions

Step 1

Dice the fresh sushi-grade salmon into small cubes, about 1/4 inch in size. Place them in a medium-sized bowl.

Step 2

Finely chop the red onion and add it to the bowl with the salmon.

Step 3

Roughly chop the capers and add them to the mix.

Step 4

Chop the fresh dill and add two tablespoons to the salmon mixture.

Step 5

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and olive oil until fully combined. Pour this dressing over the salmon mixture.

Step 6

Season the mixture with salt and black pepper. Gently mix all ingredients until the salmon is well coated with the dressing.

Step 7

Peel and dice the avocado into small cubes and finely chop the cucumber. Add them to the salmon mixture and gently fold to combine.

Step 8

Chop the hard-boiled eggs and gently fold them into the tartare to increase protein content.

Step 9

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 15 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

Step 10

Serve the tartare chilled, either on a plate with toasty bread slices or inside halved avocados for an additional protein boost.
