75 g (1/2 cup) of fresh organic cranberries
For the tartare:
225 g (1/2 lb.) of fresh, skinless salmon, sliced into cubes
4 slices of smoked salmon, diced
1 small Granny Smith apple, diced
2 green onions, minced
60 ml (4 tbsp) of classic (plain) potato chips, crushed (or tempura flakes)

This candied cranberry tartare will surprise you with its textures and flavours. The candied fresh cranberries burst with flavour while the crispy chips balance out the dish by adding some crunch.
There are only benefits to making your own tartares at home. It allows you to use the freshest fish and to adjust the seasonings just as you like it.
Don’t be shy! Ask your fishmonger for sustainable tartare-grade salmon. The flesh of the fish you’re buying should be shiny and odourless, both of which are signs of freshness. Choose fillets from the tail as it contains less fat and is more flavourful.
For a pretty presentation, serve the tartare in Chinese spoons or mould it using a round cookie cutter.
