This salmon tartare is a deliciously fresh starter, perfect for spring and summer days. It combines the freshness of raw salmon with the spicy notes of lime and the aromatic scent of fresh dill. The tartare is seasoned with a touch of olive oil, lime juice, salt and pepper, which preserves the natural flavor of the salmon. The crispy bite of mini cucumbers and the aniseed flavor of fennel are mixed with red onion, Granny Smith apple and seasoned with olive oil, salt and pepper, which provides a refreshing counterpart to the tender salmon. Thin slices of avocado add a creamy flavor, while the dill oil, made from a curd sauce with sour cream and lime juice, adds a tart and spicy dimension that completes the dish.
