This salmon tartare is a simple and beautiful way to prepare raw salmon that is a celebration of freshness! The thing I love about this fish dish is the magic worked by the lemon juice that causes a cooked texture on the surface of the salmon whilst leaving the center rare and soft. Delicious served with buttered crusty brown toast.
