    How to make salmon tartare? Prepare the products. It is best to cook tartare from fresh salmon fillet. Since the fish is not subjected to heat treatment during cooking, for safety, put a piece of salmon in the freezer for a while.

    As you know, red fish goes well with avocado. The finished tartare will also be good and harmonious with this fruit. And how much use! Cut the avocado into small identical pieces, sprinkle with lemon juice so that the pieces do not darken, and put the fish tartare on top. Bon appetit!

In the recipe, instead of lemon, you can use lime and lime juice, this will give a special touch to the dish.

How to properly cut a whole fish into fillets? Remove the tail, head and fins. Cut the carcass along the spine to the spine. Turn it on its side. With a sharp knife, cut the meat from the backbone bone. Turn the carcass over and cut the fillet from the other side. Clean the inside by removing the black film, as it is bitter and will spoil the taste. Rinse and be sure to dry well.

Since the degree of salinity, sweetness, bitterness, sharpness, acid, burning is individual for everyone, always add spices, spices and seasonings, focusing on your taste! If you put some of the seasonings for the first time, then keep in mind that there are spices that it is especially important not to shift (for example, chili pepper). 

So that the mucous membrane of the eyes is not irritated when slicing onions, rinse the onion and knife with cold water. The cutting board will not absorb the unpleasant onion smell if you rub it with a piece of lemon before slicing.
