Salmon tartare is an exquisite dish of French cuisine, symbolizing freshness and sophistication. Its roots trace back to gastronomic traditions that value the natural taste of ingredients. Tender cubes of salmon infused with the aroma of basil and red onion gain zest from lemon juice and olive oil. The tartare is garnished with layers of boiled eggs and parsley, creating a vibrant contrast of textures. The finishing touch is sour cream for softness and capers that highlight the complexity of flavor. This recipe is perfect for a festive dinner or romantic meeting, as salmon tartare delights the eye with its aesthetics while enveloping the palate in a gentle, balanced taste.

Carefully cut the fish so it doesn't turn to mush, slice into 4-5 mm thick pieces, then into strips of the same width, and finally into cubes. Transfer to a bowl.
