Instructions

Prepare the salmon

Dice the sushi-grade salmon into small cubes using a sharp knife. Ensure the salmon is fresh and has been properly handled to avoid contamination.

Pro tip: Use a very sharp knife to make clean cuts through the salmon.

Mix the tartare

In a bowl, combine the diced salmon with soy sauce, sesame oil, sesame seeds, lemon juice, and chopped green onion. Mix gently until well combined.

Pro tip: Chill the mixture in the fridge for 10 minutes if you prefer a colder tartare.

Mash the avocados

In a separate bowl, mash the avocados with lemon juice and salt until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Pro tip: Leaving the avocado slightly chunky adds texture to the tartine.

Toast the bread

Toast the sourdough bread slices until golden brown and crisp. This should take about 3-5 minutes.

Pro tip: For an extra crunch, you can lightly brush the bread with olive oil before toasting.

Assemble the tartines

Spread a generous amount of avocado mixture on each toasted bread slice. Top with a layer of salmon tartare.

Pro tip: For a neat presentation, use a spoon to evenly spread the toppings.

Garnish and serve

Garnish each tartine with fresh dill and serve immediately.

Pro tip: Serve with a lemon wedge on the side for an extra citrus kick.

Serving Suggestions

Serve these tartines as an elegant brunch option or a light lunch, paired with a crisp white wine such as a Sauvignon Blanc. For a non-alcoholic option, a chilled sparkling water with a twist of lime complements the flavours beautifully. To make ahead, prepare the salmon tartare and avocado mixture separately, and store them in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to a day. Assemble the tartines just before serving to maintain the freshness and texture. Leftovers should be consumed within a day for optimal freshness.
