Spicy Salmon Tartar with Plaintain Chips

Jamie found this one in his most recent CCA magazine and, with all certainty, knew it would be a hit at our house.  Haven't tried it yet, but it's on the agenda for this weekend!

 Later.........

 WOAH!  We tried this one!  Amazing.  This is definitely going to be a favorite!  My only comment is the amount of sauce the recipe makes is WAY MORE than you need for 1 1/2 lbs of salmon.  So, I'd suggest making the sauce according to the recipe, then adding it, one spoonful at a time, to the chopped salmon until you reach the "sauce level" that looks yummy to you.

The sauce...

 Sauce and chopped salmon...

Also, the recipe didn't give instructions for making the green salad below the tartar in the picture in the recipe.  I don't know if this is it or not, but it definitely did the trick.  One small bag of plain shredded lettuce and one avocado. 

Add about 3/4 of the avocado to the lettuce and stir thoroughly.  Any chunks in the avocado will turn to mush, covering the lettuce.  The last 1/4, cube it in the skin like below.

Then scoop it out in layers.  This will create nice little "chunks" of avocado.  Mix this into the salad gently to make some tasty avocado bites.

Again, mix the sauce slowly into the chopped salmon.  And, no - the cat food isn't included in this recipe. ;)

Now for the perfect round shape.  Not happening if I have to do that by hand.  The right tool for the job?  A cookie/biscuit cutter or piece of 3"-4" pvc pipe.  My biscuit cutter wasn't very tall, so I added the green salad, then slid the cutter up a little, so I'd still have a mold when adding the salmon.

The finished product!

Homer-approved.
