    You’ve heard of steak tartare, but have you ever considered doing the same thing with a fresh fillet of wild-caught salmon? It’s not for everyone, but if you’re a fan of the beef version (or if you’re interested in experimenting with raw meat), salmon tartare might just be the dish for you.

    Mediterranean Salmon Tartare

    To ramp up the flavor, here the completely raw salmon is mixed in with some smoked salmon, not to mention a crisp, fresh seasoning blend of herbs, olive oil, and crunchy red onions. After all, eating raw fish doesn’t mean you have to scarf it down straight out of the stream!

    Salmon tartare is raw, so you’ll want to make sure you get the very best quality fish you can (here’s a guide to finding good salmon). Just take reasonable precautions about hygiene and temperature, and serve the fish right away after you mix it up – don’t let it hang out on the counter warming up.

    If you’re not comfortable with eating your fish raw, or if you can’t get fish you really trust, maybe you could use the dressing here on a cooked salmon salad instead – it wouldn’t be tartare by any means, but it would still be tasty.
