Salmon Tartare with Taramosalata

A couple of weeks ago I served this starter/appetizer course at my last Greek Supper Club. It’s an elegant dish and easy to assemble but you need a cake/ring mold. The bottom layer is crispy potato sticks, salmon tartar and then a layer of taramosalata.
The great thing about this dish is that a spoonful gives you the perfect bite of salmon, creamy taramosalata and crunch from the potato sticks. One could make their own fried potato sticks but I found this potato sticks product to do the trick.
The final other ingredient is one you can make…my taramosalata recipe…it’s a winner!

- When you’re ready to serve your tartare, take the your salmon out of the fridge, add the the vodka, salt and sugar and toss. Reserve for 5 minutes.
- Add the remaining ingredients and toss to combine.
- Take a handful of potato sticks and squish in your palm to make smaller pieces and place on the bottom of the ring mold (add enough to cover the bottom).
- Top with the salmon and use a spoon to even out the top. Now top with taramosalata and smooth the top to smooth and flatten. Top with chives and lift the mold and serve.
- Buy salmon from a trusted shop or fishmonger
Freeze your salmon for at least 3 hours (kill any microbes)
Cut partially frozen or almost thawed salmon for easier chopping
Chop salmon an hour before serving, cover with click wrap in fridge
