<p>Salmon is a great fish to work with, and has earned its reputation as a health supporting food. It tastes divine especially when it is prepared with the right mix of spices and herbs. This recipe is served on a Chinese spoon as a great appetizer to serve to friends before a meal. It can be spread on a cracker or toast bread and enjoyed. It is also perfect as a main course alongside a simple salad.</p>.<p><span style="color: #800000;"><strong>SERVINGS:</strong> 6</span><br /> <span style="color: #800000;"> <strong>PREP:</strong> 30 MIN</span><br /> <span style="color: #800000;"> <strong>TIME:</strong> 3 HR</span><br /> <span style="color: #800000;"> <strong>INACTIVE:</strong> 2 HR</span><br /> <span style="color: #800000;"> <strong>LEVEL:</strong> EASY</span></p>.<figure class="wp-caption alignnone" id="attachment_24241" style="width: 600px"><a href="http://hapmag.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/SALMON-INSERT.jpg"></a><figcaption class="wp-caption-text">Salmon Tartare with Fresh Herbs</figcaption></figure>.<p><strong>Ingredients</strong></p>.<p>500g. skinless fresh salmon fillet<br /> 250g. smoked salmon, thickly sliced<br /> 1/4 cup finely diced, seeded cucumber<br /> 1 Tbsp. fresh lime juice<br /> 1 1/2 tsp. minced fresh spring onions<br /> 1 1/2 tsp. minced shallot<br /> 1 1/2 tsp. minced fresh mint<br /> 1 1/2 tsp. olive or grapeseed oil<br /> 1 1/2 tsp. minced, seeded cayenne chilies<br /> 3/4 tsp. minced peeled fresh ginger<br /> 1/2 tsp. sesame oil<br /> 1/4 tsp.
