Fish Tartare

1. Chill the Fish

To begin, keep the diced fish chilled in the refrigerator until you're ready to serve. This step is crucial for maintaining freshness and ensuring safety when consuming it raw.

2. Prepare Lime Dressing

In a small bowl, mix together the zest of half a lime and the juice from one and a half limes. This combination forms the zesty and vibrant foundation of your tartare, infusing it with a refreshing citrus flavor.

3. Add Coriander and Olive Oil

Next, add the crushed coriander seeds and extra-virgin olive oil to the lime mixture. Stir to combine all the ingredients, creating a flavorful dressing for the fish.

4. Season the Fish

Take the finely diced fish and season it lightly with salt in a mixing bowl. The salt will enhance the fish’s natural flavors, allowing them to shine through.

5. Combine Fish with Dressing

Pour the lime and coriander dressing over the seasoned fish, tossing gently to ensure the fish is evenly coated.

6. Add Cilantro

Add the chopped cilantro into the bowl, tossing once more to distribute the herbs throughout the mixture. The cilantro adds a fresh, herby flavor that pairs perfectly with the citrus and fish.

7. Final Seasoning

Finally, taste your fish tartare and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or lime juice if needed. This final step helps balance the flavors to your liking, creating a dish that's as delicious as it is refreshing. Serve immediately and enjoy the delicate, vibrant flavors of your homemade fish tartare.
