SALMON TARTARE & TSAR NICOULAI CAVIAR

THANK YOU NATHAN MICHAEL FOR THIS GORGEOUS RECIPE

Serves 4

INGREDIENTS
6 oz Sushi Grade Salmon
125g+ Caviar 
2-3 Tbsp Creme Fraiche
1 Lemon (Zest + Juice)
1 Tbsp Olive Oil
3 Tbsp Chives
Salt + Pepper (to taste)
2 Tbsp Tamari
2 Tbsp Fresh Lemon Juice
1 Tbsp Fresh Orange Juice
Sliced English Cucumber (to taste)

METHOD
1. Chop the salmon into fine pieces. Transfer these to a mixing bowl.
2. To the bowl, add the crème fraîche, freshly chopped chives, the zest of one lemon, salt, black pepper, and a drizzle of high-quality olive oil.
3. In a separate vessel, whisk together the tamari, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and orange juice to create a vibrant, citrus-infused blend.
4. On a clean plate, arrange thin slices of crisp cucumber in a neat pattern. Place a ring mold at the center and carefully spoon in the salmon mixture, pressing it gently to ensure it holds its shape.
5. Gracefully crown the salmon with our exquisite caviar.
6. Delicately drizzle the tamari citrus sauce over the cucumbers, encircling the salmon.
7. Serve with slices of fresh baguette, a selection of artisanal chips, or any accompaniment of your choice.
8. Savor this culinary creation immediately for the best experience!
