Sockeye Salmon Tartare Recipe

• 2 pounds fresh sockeye salmon, skin and pin bones removed
• Kosher salt
• Freshly ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fish sauce
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 medium garlic clove, minced
• Finely grated zest of 1 medium lemon
• 2 tablespoons seeded, skinned, and finely diced tomato
• 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh chervil
• 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh chives
• 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh cilantro
• 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh tarragon leaves

• 1/2 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice, plus more as needed

1. Trim any cartilage and dark areas of flesh (the blood line) from the salmon and discard. Dice the salmon into 1/4-inch cubes and place in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
2. Add the fish sauce, olive oil, garlic, and lemon zest and gently fold to combine.
3. Add the tomato, herbs, shallot, and measured lemon juice and gently fold to combine. Taste and season with additional salt, pepper, and lemon juice as needed.
4. To serve, place a small round cookie cutter on a plate and pack it gently with the tartare, or spread the tartare thinly on the plate. Garnish with microgreens and serve with taro chips or baguette slices.
