Smoked Salmon and Avacado Tartare
Our Christmas celebration was wonderful, all our family got
together.We had a lot of fun, singing Christmas Carols, taking walks in
the countryside and enjoying this special time of the year.
The
happiest of us all was our dog Buster, a beagle and like most of his
breed over enthusiastic stuffing himself with food - especially
the one he is forbidden to eat the rest of the year!
Now Christmas is over and we are back to reality worrying about curves that appear somehow more curvaceous than before.
It's probably the only time of the year I'm really looking forward to exercice!
For our New Years Party I was looking for something light, healthy and easy to prepare.
This Tartare is fresh and stylish and you can prepare it some hours in advance.
Ideal for a stress free New Years Eve party!
You need:
-200g (about 7 ounces) of smoked salmon

Cut the avocado in small pieces and add immediatly 1 spoonful of lemon juice.
add 1/2 spoonful of grated lemon peel,cilantro,salt and pepper.
Put 1/4 of the salmon mix in a ring mold.
add one layer of the avocado mix and finish with another layer of the salmon mix.
Press gently with a spoon and wait for some minutes until shaped.
Remove ring mold gently.
Garnish with fresh rocket and lime flavored mayonnaise.

Enjoy!

ReplyDeleteHappy Holidays to you as well, Amy! And thank you for the nice feedback:)
DeleteI like salmon anything, and this looks terrific. Love the idea of pairing the flavor of salmon with avocado - the dish must taste wonderful! Thanks, and have a Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteYes,salmon is one of mother nature's most precious and delicious gifts.
DeleteApart from that,I think we all need a healthy dosis of Omega3 after all the Holiday celebrations and eating salmon for that purpose is just so much tastier than Vitamin supplements :)
Happy New Year to you and your family as well!
The salmon is exquisite on all levels. Looks delicious. And I most definitely need to purchase a ring mold!

Hi there,
ReplyDeleteWhat happened to the Dijon mustard mentioned in the recipe but not in the preparation?
Also, what happened to the lime juice mentioned in the preparation but not in the recipe? Perhaps some sort of Quality Review of the recipe and Preparation before publishing it might help!

ReplyDeleteI've been watching a lot of Cake Boss with my son comfort recipes and that show is addicting. I don't know about you but I sure would love to be able to make the kind of cakes that Buddy (the star of the show) can put together. The thing I really like is he runs the family bakery in Hoboken, New Jersey and it's a real bakery. Not some hip cupcake shop or health conscious bakery, it's the real deal. So you wonder, is this what it's like to become a pastry chef?
