Cod Tartar with Avocado
Whenever I need a quick appetizer, but something a bit sophisticated nonetheless… (and nutrient-dense, of course)… I turn to a tartare.

No long list of ingredients either.
Heck, there isn’t even any cooking involved!
Always keep a bit of fish in the freezer.
That way, you can just move it to the fridge in the morning…
and then assemble all of the ingredients
around 30-minutes before eating.
What could be easier ?!
