Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 8 ounces sushi-grade salmon, diced
- 1 medium beetroot, roasted and cubed
- 1 ripe avocado, sliced
Dressing and Seasonings:
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon capers, rinsed
Garnish and Seasoning:
- Fresh dill or chives (to taste)
- Salt (to taste)
- Pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F and wrap one medium beetroot completely in aluminum foil. Roast the beetroot for exactly 45 minutes until fork-tender.
- Remove beetroot from oven and let it cool for 10-15 minutes. Carefully peel off the skin and cut into small ¼-inch uniform cubes.
- Take 8 oz of sushi-grade salmon and dice into precise ¼-inch cubes using a sharp knife. Make sure each piece is similar in size for consistent texture.
- Whisk 2 tablespoons of freshly squeezed lemon juice with 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil. Add a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper to create a bright vinaigrette.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine your diced salmon, beetroot cubes, 1 tablespoon of rinsed capers, and finely chopped fresh dill or chives.
- Slice one ripe avocado into thin, elegant layers using a sharp knife.
- Arrange the salmon mixture either in a classic ring mold or carefully layer on a clean plate. Top with avocado slices.
- Drizzle the prepared lemon vinaigrette over the tartare just before serving.
- Finish by scattering additional fresh herbs on top for a vibrant presentation.
Notes
- Choose the freshest sushi-grade salmon possible for the best flavor and safety when serving raw.
- Roast beetroot ahead of time and chill completely to make assembly faster and prevent color bleeding.
- Dice salmon and beetroot into small, uniform cubes so each bite has a balanced mix of textures and flavors.
- Consider serving this dish immediately after preparing to keep the salmon at its peak freshness and prevent any potential soggy texture from sitting too long.
