Ingredients

• 600 g/11/4lb raw salmon fillet, skinned

Method:

1. Cut the salmon fillet into very small cubes. Season with the shallot, olive oil, coriander, salt and pepper.

2. Cut the basil leaves into thin strips, keeping a few leaves whole for the garnish, and mix into the salmon mixture.

3. Arrange the lettuce and reserved basil leaves in a circle on each serving plate.

4. Place the salmon tartare in the centre and serve with some sliced baguette.

Note: This recipe can also be prepared with smoked salmon, in which case use less olive oil. Salmon tartare makes a great appetizer or hors d'oeuvre served with a glass of champagne.
