Recipe: Salmon Tartare

Salmon Tartare

1 lb. raw salmon fillet
3 tbsp. olive oil
3 tbsp. white wine vinegar
3 shallots (finely chopped)
2 tbsp. capers (rinsed, drained and chopped)
1 tbsp. fresh chives (chopped)
1 tbsp. fresh parsley (chopped)
Salt (to taste)
Pepper (to taste)
1 lemon (cut into wedges)

Slice and then finely chop the salmon; place in a bowl. Keep salmon very cool and handle as little as possible. Gently stir in oil, vinegar, shallots, capers, chives, parsley, salt and pepper. Cover the tartare lightly and refrigerate for up to an hour. Serve with lemon wedges on the side. Enjoy!

*Johnna's tip: While thumbing through the cookbook, Creative Cooking the Costco Way, we came across this quick and easy appetizer. Tuna tartare is most commonly served in many restaurants and is an acquired taste. Try with salmon if you're not feeling tuna and spruce things up with a few sprigs of parsley for garnish.

*Johnna's tip, tip: Ohh and we have to put the disclaimer out there...Consuming raw foods can be bad for you, blah, blah, blah...basically, eat at your own risk.
