1 Cut the salmon (remove the skin and less noble parts) into approximately 1/2 cm cubes. Set aside.
2 Finely julienne shallots, pickles, and capers.
3 In a bowl, mix the salmon cubes with the vodka. Add capers, shallots, and pickles, and mix well.
4 Add mayonnaise (adjust quantity according to preference) and mix to achieve a homogeneous tartare.
5 On a plate, create a bed with the lamb's lettuce, shape the tartare (into a dome, circle, etc.) in the center of the plate on the lettuce bed. Add a few grains of fleur de sel, a twist of black pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil to finish the preparation.
Serve immediately!
If you prepare the recipe in advance, do not mix the salmon with the various ingredients; the tartare does not like to wait!
Serve with the best dry white wine you have in your cellar (an Entre-Deux-Mers, a Languedoc, or a wine from the Pyrenees would make a perfect pairing).
Enjoy your meal!
Pair with a dry white wine with good body, like Entre-Deux-Mers or Languedoc. Skip overly mineral wines, they'll overpower the fish. Once mixed, plate the tartare immediately, waiting will let the mayo drown everything. Timing is everything here.
