What do you think when you see salmon tartare in a menu? Does it sound like a difficult recipe or easy? I always thought it was not easy to make it at home, but the truth is that it is super easy to make. There is no need to wait for a special dinner or to go to a restaurant to enjoy this fresh dish. Actually I made it today for lunch.
The salmon tartare I did today is made with avocado and tomato, but you could also add mango, or change the salmon with tuna. I will make the tuna and mango version soon.
Salmon skin? Yes, I am using the salmon skin to make super crispy topping to add it at the end to the tartare. Seriously amazing how delicious crispy salmon skin is. Ones you try it you will never throw away the skin anymore.
