Smoked Salmon & Gherkin Tartare
Classic
serves 4
This smoked salmon and gherkin tartare is clean, punchy, and texture-led, built from finely diced salmon, shallot, capers, and herbs in a light mustard-lemon dressing. It works beautifully as a starter or light lunch when you want something that feels refined without complicated prep.
Serve it well chilled, shaped in a ring mould if you want a plated finish, with toasted rye or sourdough on the side. Keep the knife work neat and even so each bite stays balanced between richness, acidity, and crunch.

In a chilled bowl, combine smoked salmon, gherkins, shallot and capers.
Whisk Dijon mustard, lemon juice and olive oil together, then pour over the salmon mixture.
Fold through dill (and chives, if using), then season with black pepper. Taste before adding any salt.
Chill for 10 minutes to let flavours meld.
Spoon into a ring mould or serve free-form, with toasted sourdough or rye on the side.
