Tartar of smoked salmon, orange and avocado

Step 1

I prepare the different layers separately and then build the turret. We start with the salmon:

Step 2

Cut the salmon fillet into cubes of 5 mm x 5 mm, so as small as possible. Don't do this with regular slices of salmon because you can't cut a tartar from it and you will get a sloppy result. Cut the red onion into as fine cubes as possible. Now mix the salmon, red onion, yogurt, spicy paprika powder and the capers together and season with some freshly ground black pepper. Set aside.

Step 3

Cut the peel from the orange. (I do that by first cutting off the head and end and then cutting from top to bottom just below the skin.) Then cut out the parts between the membranes so that you have nice wedges. Cut these wedges into 3 pieces and let them drain in a colander. Mix the pieces with the honey and finely chopped red pepper. Set aside. Let it drain for a while before using.

Step 4

Remove the skin and pit from the avocado. Cut it into small cubes. Mix the cubes with the olive oil, lime juice and season with salt and pepper. Set aside.

Step 5

Cut thin slices of the cooked beetroot.Take a metal ring (for building the tower). Start with the avocado mixture. Place about 2 cm of the mixture and press down well with the back of a spoon. On top of that you put a layer of the beetroot slices. Then a layer of +/- 2 cm orange mixture. (let them drain well before using). The last layer is the mixture of smoked salmon. Again, press well with the back of a spoon.For the presentation I finished it off with a spoonful of fish eggs and shredded chives.Now gently raise the ring and a beautiful dish appears... Let it taste!
