Main Ingredients:

- 1 medium roasted beetroot
- 1 ripe avocado
Dressing Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

- Pepper
Instructions
- Set the oven to 400°F (200°C). Wrap the whole beetroot in aluminum foil and roast for 45 minutes until fork-tender.
- Remove beetroot from oven and let cool completely. Peel the skin and dice into small ¼-inch cubes.
- Combine 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, ¼ teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper in a small bowl.
- Slowly whisk 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil into the lemon mixture until the vinaigrette emulsifies smoothly.
- Carefully dice 8 ounces sushi-grade salmon into uniform ¼-inch pieces using a sharp knife.
- Cut one ripe avocado into similar-sized ¼-inch cubes, keeping the pieces delicate and intact.
- Gently mix salmon and beetroot in a medium bowl, ensuring the ingredients remain distinct and unbroken.
- Softly fold in diced avocado, drizzling the prepared vinaigrette across the surface.
- Select a ring mold or use your hands to create a compact, elegant circular shape on each serving plate.
- Finish with a light sprinkle of fresh herbs like dill or microgreens for added color and freshness.
- Serve immediately alongside crisp toast points or delicate crackers.
Notes
- Always use super-fresh salmon from a trusted fishmonger to guarantee food safety and best flavor for this tartare.
- Dice the salmon and avocado into small, uniform cubes to create a balanced texture and ensure every bite has perfect proportions.
- Chill your serving plates beforehand so the tartare stays cool and maintains its delicate structure when plated.
- For a gluten-free version, swap toast points with cucumber slices or rice crackers to keep the dish light and crisp.
