Sockeye Salmon Tartare
This fresh salmon tartare recipe by Chef Frank McMahon of Hank’s in Charleston, South Carolina, is a light and delicious starter loaded with fragrant herbs. Scoop it up with crunchy taro chips or a toasted baguette. What to buy: If you can’t find sockeye salmon, get the freshest salmon possible.
