Salmon Tartare

Salmon tartare

Salmon tartare is prepared with fresh raw salmon and seasonings. It is commonly spread on a cracker or bread and eaten as an appetizer. For the usual preparation in Germany, the chopped salmon fillet is salted and peppered, mixed with finely diced shallots or onions, possibly chives or basil and seasoned with vinegar or lemon juice, oil and spices such as dill or coriander.

Salmon

Salmon are any of several commercially important species of ray-finned fish that can live in either freshwater or saltwater from the genera Salmo and Oncorhynchus of the family Salmonidae, native to tributaries of the North Atlantic (Salmo) and North Pacific (Oncorhynchus) basins. Salmon is a colloquial or common name used for fish in this group, but is not a scientific name. Other closely related fish in the same family include trout, char, grayling, whitefish, lenok and taimen, all coldwater fish of the subarctic and cooler temperate regions with some sporadic endorheic populations in Central Asia.
