- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon fresh dill chopped
- Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions
Prepare the Salmon
- Use a sharp knife to finely dice fresh salmon. Keep it cold while preparing. Fresh salmon is key for flavor and safety.
Chop the Shallots and Capers
- Finely chop shallots and capers. This adds tang and depth. Mix them together in a small bowl before adding to salmon.
Make the Dressing
- In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice and Dijon mustard. Whisk lightly until smooth. Season with salt and black pepper.
Combine Ingredients
- Add chopped salmon, shallots, capers, and dill into the bowl. Mix gently with the dressing until well coated. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Add Optional Avocado
- Dice avocado into small cubes. Gently fold it into the salmon mixture. This adds creaminess and balances the tangy flavors of the tartare.
Plate the Tartare
- Use a ring mold for neat presentation or spoon mixture into small bowls. Garnish with extra dill or a small drizzle of olive oil. Serve immediately.
