If you love beef tartare but don’t love the idea of leaving a bowl of raw beef out at a cocktail party, this recipe is for you. Smoked salmon is a party-friendly alternative that can take the spicy crunch of pickled green peppercorns. Serve it with potato chips and everyone will be happy.

Ingredients

10–12 servings

8盎司熏鲑鱼,切成1/4 "块
3 Tbsp. green peppercorns in brine or capers, drained, finely chopped
2 tsp. finely grated lemon zest
1/2 tsp. smoked paprika
1/3 cup crème fraîche
Potato chips (for serving)
  1. Toss salmon, peppercorns, lemon zest, and paprika in a medium bowl until combined. Gently fold in crème fraîche until combined (the mixture should be loose—don’t press it together and don’t chill it). Transfer to a serving bowl. Serve with potato chips alongside.

  • Quite tasty with a quality smoked salmon. Has been very popular with guests. I'll add fresh chervil sometimes as well.

  • Can’t give this anything more than a meh. Nothing terribly wrong with it, but nothing remarkable either. Rather dull, in fact.
