Preparation

  1. Rinse the salmon fillet briefly, pat dry and cut into very fine cubes.
  2. Halve the avocados, remove the stones, peel and dice as small as possible. Slice the spring onions finely, chop the coriander, deseed and finely chop the chilli. Grate 1 tsp zest from the limes and squeeze the juice.
  3. Combine everything in a bowl with the lime juice, lime zest and olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  4. Leave to infuse in the fridge for about 15 minutes. No longer, or the salmon turns grey.
  5. Arrange on plates and serve immediately with the bread.

Drink with it

  • White wine · excellent match

    Sauvignon Blanc or dry Riesling

    Crisp acidity cuts the fat of salmon and avocado, and the green citrus notes echo lime and coriander.

    Which wine pairs with food? A simple approach to choosing ↗

  • Sparkling wine · excellent match

    Champagne or Crémant brut

    Bubbles and acidity lift the lime and refresh after the creamy avocado.

  • Tequila blanco · excellent match

    Tequila blanco (100% agave), neat and lightly chilled or as a highball with soda and lime

    As with ceviche and tostadas de atún: the green, peppery agave notes meet coriander, chilli and lime, and the clean sharpness of the blanco cuts the fat of salmon and avocado.

  • Ginjo sake · good match

    Ginjo, well chilled

    Delicate fruit and soft fullness accompany raw fish and avocado without overpowering them.
