Salmon Tartar

Salmon Tartar makes the perfect starter for that romantic dinner for two. Make this smoked salmon recipe the day before it’s needed and leave in the fridge until ready to serve.

Ingredients - serves 2

• 3 slices good quality smoked salmon, chopped
• Juice & rind of ½ lemon
• 1 tabsp Greek yoghurt
• ½ tabsp fresh dill - chopped
• Salt & Pepper
• Tabasco or other hot chilli sauce
• Some fresh dill sprigs to garnish
• 2“/5cm ring mould

Method

In a bowl mix the salmon, lemon juice & rind, chopped dill and yoghurt. Add a dash of Tabasco sauce and season with salt & pepper to taste.

If you’re making the salmon tartar mixture the day before you intend to eat it, cover the bowl with cling film and leave in the fridge until ready to serve.

To Serve

Place the ring mould on a serving plate and spoon in half of the salmon mixture, press down firmly, then carefully remove the ring mould. Repeat with the remaining mixture.

Garnish the salmon tartar with the reserved dill sprigs and serve immediately accompanied by a green salad.

To finish this rather special dish why not try a simple raspberry creme brulee

Tip

If you cannot get hold of a ring mould, a clean, empty, half tin can makes a suitable substitute.
