Equipment:
- Mixing bowl
- Knife and chopping board
- Spoon
Instructions:
1. Begin by placing the finely chopped Arctic CH into a mixing bowl.
2. Add in the chopped shallots, chives, and basil to the bowl with the fish. Gently mix these ingredients together.
3. Season the mixture with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Salt is crucial as it helps to bring out and enhance all the flavors within the tartare.
4. Incorporate the diced avocado into the tartare mixture. The creaminess of the avocado will help bind the ingredients, adding richness to the lean fish.
5. For the acidic component, squeeze fresh lemon juice over the tartare and drizzle it with the extra-virgin olive oil. Mix gently to make sure everything is evenly coated.
6. Before serving, taste the tartare and adjust any seasoning if necessary to ensure the flavors are spot on.
7. Serve the tartare on your choice of crostinis, potato chips, or cucumber rounds. Each of these adds a unique texture and flavor contrast to the tartare.
Cooking Tips:
- When chopping the fish, be sure to use a sharp knife for a clean cut, which is crucial for the perfect tartare texture.
- Mix the tartare gently to avoid mashing the avocado or breaking the delicate pieces of fish.
- Always taste as you go, especially after adding salt and acid, to maintain a balance of flavors.
