Salmon Tartare with Apple, Celery, and Radish

 

The most popular fish in America, it is no wonder it is a part of beloved Christmas culinary traditions from sea to shining sea. In Alaska, the state catching the healthiest, non-farmed, gorgeous, orangey-pink fleshed wild salmon in the world, Alaskans refer to this 20 pound sea beast as Alaskan turkey. Norway, the world's leading farmed salmon harvester, has set the standards for sustainable salmon harvesting while safeguarding the environment. Given that not all salmon is fished or harvested in the same way, play it safe and seek out wild salmon when in season and organic Atlantic salmon from Norway or Canada as a reasonable alternative--both options will be free of antibiotics and rich in Omega-3 fatty acids and B vitamins.

 

These individual spoonfuls make for a delightful, colorful, and unexpected appetizer. Spiked with zesty horseradish and crunchy cool-season crop radish, this refreshing zingy small plate teases the palate and provides a perfect pairing with GROWER's CHAMPAGNE, a low sugar dosage, single vintner bubbly.
