Salmon tartare with avocado and capers is an exquisite dish of European cuisine that perfectly combines the freshness of seafood, the creaminess of avocado, and the spiciness of capers. This dish originates from French gastronomy, where raw fish is given a rich flavor through marinades and spicy ingredients. Tender cubes of salmon harmoniously blend with the refreshing crunch of cucumber and the mild sharpness of shallots, while lemon juice adds a subtle tang. Mustard and horseradish provide a light spiciness that enhances the flavor balance. The tartare is served chilled, making it a wonderful appetizer for warm summer evenings or elegant dinners. Garnished with arugula, it gains additional freshness, while capers add a rich salty accent. This dish embodies simplicity and sophistication capable of surprising even the most discerning gourmets.
