Today, I am sharing a recipe for an appetizer I’ve made more times than I can remember over the years, this Soy Sesame Salmon Tartare with Avocado. It is one of the easiest no-cook appetizer recipes and uses just a few fresh ingredients – salmon, scallions, avocado, soy sauce, sesame oil, lime juice and a few garnishes for serving.

After all the heavier foods over the holidays, this light, fresh appetizer would be perfect for celebrating the New Year. I’m actually thinking of making an assortment of small bites for our family’s New Year celebration, including serving this Salmon Tartare on thin sesame rice crackers. It’ll be more fun grazing on a variety of appetizers than sitting down to a big meal.

There are so many different ways I’ve served this Soy Sesame Salmon Tartare, each time a bit different, but always to rave reviews. If you’re feeling a little bit fancy, try tossing all the ingredients in this recipe together and serving it in mini martini glasses or shot glasses. It’s actually even faster to serve it this way and just as pretty.

      Laurie – I agree. I’ve made this for all different parties throughout the year, and for a super quick appetizer during the week. My kids love it.

    I’ve never quite fancied entrees because I always forget that it’s an entree and eat as much as I would the main course! Haha ^^
    I definitely love these ingredients; very fresh. Oh, and I love the photos.
    Happy New Years to you too!!

      I love little bites more than entrees – when we go out to eat, I often order just a few appetizers instead of an entree.

    Raw salmon is actually the one non-vegetarian food I just can’t shake…I love these little tartares! I would eat so many of them that they would count as my main meal.
    happy new year, Jeanette! I’m so glad we discovered each other’s blogs in 2011 and I hope we get to meet in 2012!

      Joanne – funny as my kids don’t like salmon unless it’s prepared this way. So glad to have found you too and look forward to meeting you in 2012!

      Hi Susanna,
      I buy my salmon from the fish market when I serve it tartare style. Although I have bought Costco’s salmon, I have only served it cooked as I’m not really sure how fresh it is and if it is safe to eat it raw.
