Salmon tartar and panzanella: the procedure

Here are the steps to make this summery recipe in just a few minutes.

Preparation of panzanella

First of all, take the bread and cut it into cubes, put it in a pan to toast with a little oil and add salt. When it is golden brown, set it aside and let it cool. Then move on to the cherry tomatoes: wash them carefully and cut them in half lengthwise. Place them in a bowl and add the bread, basil, balsamic vinegar and a little at a time the water. Stir until everything is mixed.

Preparation of the tartare

Cut the salmon into strips and then into small cubes. Pour everything into a bowl and season with chives and lemon zest. Add salt and pepper and finally the vinegar.

Putting together the salmon and panzanella tartare

Now it's time to serve. Get a pastry cup that fits the dish you wish to use and place it in the centre. Take the tartare with a spoon and place it inside the dish, pressing it down lightly. Then add some panzanella. Remove the pastry bag, decorate the salmon tartare and panzanella with herbs and the dish is ready to serve.

When preparing the salmon and panzanella tartare, don't forget to use one of our balsamic vinegars. We recommend the Aceto Balsamico di Modena I.G.P. Biologico Platino.
