Ingredients

• 1 red onion (chopped into very fine dice)
• 250g sushi-grade wild salmon (skinless, boneless)
• 2 ripe Hass avocados
• 2 tsp cold-pressed olive oil & 1 tbsp lime juice
• Fresh dill & 1 pinch of coarse black pepper

Method

You’ll need: chopping board · knife · mixing bowl

1. Rinse the wild salmon under cold water, pat it dry carefully and cut into small, even cubes. Chop the red onion very finely, finely chop the dill and scoop the avocado flesh out of the skin.
2. Gently mix the wild salmon with the red onion, lime juice, olive oil, dill and coarse black pepper in a bowl. Leave for a moment so the flavours come together.
3. Cut the avocado into small cubes or roughly mash it with a fork. Mix loosely with a little lime juice and a pinch of pepper.
4. Fill a serving ring or small cup with the avocado and press down lightly. Spoon the wild salmon mixture on top and carefully shape it.
5. Gently lift off the ring and finish with a little dill if you like.

Good to know

A stack like this looks special but is pleasantly simple. Fresh, creamy and bright in flavour – that's exactly what makes it so nice.

Swaps

Red onion → shallot (milder, more delicate in a raw stack) Wild salmon → sushi-grade Arctic char (similarly tender, a little milder) Hass avocado → diced cucumber + a little more olive oil (fresher, less fat) Lime juice → lemon juice (similarly fresh, often a little more balanced)

Allergens

Contains fish. Raw onion can be quite sharp for sensitive children. In pregnancy, give these stacks a miss (raw fish). Use sushi-grade fish that has been frozen beforehand.

Frequently asked questions

Which fats are in wild salmon and avocado?

Wild salmon mainly provides the long-chain omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA. Avocado mostly contains monounsaturated fats, especially oleic acid.

Which micronutrients does wild salmon contain?

Wild salmon contains vitamin D, vitamin B12, selenium and iodine. The amounts can vary a little with origin and diet.

What does the red onion bring, nutritionally?

Red onions contain fibre as well as sulphur compounds and flavonoids such as quercetin. The exact amounts vary a lot with variety and storage.

Does avocado suit a sensitive digestion?

Not for everyone. Avocado contains polyols such as sorbitol, and red onion provides fructans – both can cause discomfort with a sensitive stomach or IBS.

Does dill matter nutritionally, or is it just for flavour?

Dill is mainly there for flavour, but in small amounts it also brings vitamin K and various plant compounds, including the essential oils behind its fresh, slightly aniseed taste.
