Salmon Tartare

French Bistro · France · 25 min · Serves 4

The Story

Cold plates help. So does a sharp knife. Tartare should look neat and taste absolutely fresh, with the garnish adding little bursts instead of noise.

1

Check the salmon carefully for skin, pin bones, and bloodline, then chop it fine with a sharp knife.

2

Season the salmon with the shallot, chives, olive oil, salt, and white pepper.

3

Divide onto chilled plates or shape with a ring mold.

4

Top or surround with the chopped egg, red onion, capers, and a spoonful of creme fraiche.

Jason's Notes

This is a knife job, not a blender job. Clean salmon, tight cuts, and cold service make the dish feel precise from the first bite.
