Wild Connemara Salmon Tartare

Rosleague Manor, Co.Galway

A delicious, traditional Irish salmon recipe from a delightfully situated Georgian house overlooking Ballinakill Bay, which has been discreetly converted into a first-class hotel with a Victorian style conservatory and delightful drawing rooms with open log fires. 

Simple is as simple does in a magnificently understated starter that owes its success to the exceptional quality of locally sourced ingredients.

9 oz / 250g wild salmon fillet
Juice of 1 lemon
1 tbsp/ 1 ¼ US tablespoon fresh coriander, chopped
