🧑🍳 Tip:
How to choose salmon for safe tartare
When preparing raw fish, safety is fundamental. For my Stuffed Avocado with Salmon Tartare, I always use salmon that is frozen or already treated for raw consumption, as required by health regulations.
– Buy it from a trusted fishmonger or in well-stocked fresh departments of supermarkets, asking if it’s suitable for raw consumption.
– If you start with fresh, unfrozen salmon, freeze it at -4°F for at least 96 hours to eliminate any parasites like Anisakis.
– Prefer suppliers that guarantee traceability and certified freshness: this way you’ll have a safe and impeccably flavored dish.
FAQ (Questions and Answers)
If you need more information, feel free to ask me a question and I will gladly answer!
Can I prepare the stuffed avocado in advance?
You can prepare the salmon and store it in the refrigerator for a maximum of 12 hours, well-covered with plastic wrap, but I do not recommend it. The avocado should be cut and seasoned just before serving to prevent it from turning brown.
Can I replace salmon with another fish?
Yes, you can use red tuna always frozen. The recipe remains fresh and tasty.
Here are two recipes you can try:

Can I make it vegan?
Yes, by replacing the salmon with a plant-based alternative such as diced mango and cucumber, seasoned with sesame seeds and extra virgin olive oil.
