About

This is my take on a classic tartare, only we serve it with salmon not beef. With any good tartare you need a means to carry it on the palate. You can serve this tartare with some plain wheat or rice crackers. At Masu we serve it with homemade sushi rice crackers.

Method

Use a sharp knife to mince the salmon fillet down to a fine paste. In a medium-sized bowl mix the salmon, shallot, ponzu vinegar, olive oil, ichimi chilli and egg yolk with a fork to evenly incorporate all the ingredients.

Carefully spread the salmon mixture across two-thirds of a serving dish. Slice the avocado and squeeze over the lemon juice to prevent the avocado from going brown. P
