Delicious as it is, the flavor of a classic tartare tends to  overpower
most fish. Sometimes you might want this effect (if your  guests are
not too adventurous), but if you prefer to taste salmon,  this recipe
makes an interesting departure from the original.  Tomatillo and
mustard seed are the focus flavors here, with the other  ingredients
forming a foundation for them. Tart, cleansing lemon  juice, parsley,
and tomatillos are contrasted by the saltiness of the  capers and
mustard. When flavors are tart or sour, salt is essential  to bring out
the taste. Red onion is the only ingredient that excites  the nose, and
this helps us to taste all the other flavors. When you  chew the
mustard seeds, they pop, exploding with quick, short bursts  of flavor.
This textural contrast is a lot of fun.  ~-------------------------
Remove and discard the paperlike covering  from the tomatillos and
finely chop. You should have 1/4 to 1/2 cup.  Place in a mixing bowl.
Chop the capers with the parsley and add to the tomatillos. Add the
mustard seed, grainy mustard, minced onion, lemon juice, and oil and
combine well. (Can be prepared to this point up to 6 hours in advance
and refrigerated.)  Just prior to serving, add the salmon to the
mixture in the bowl and,  using a fork, mash together well. Mound on
plates. Decorate each  mound with a slice of red onion and a wedge of
lemon. Serve  immediately with warm toast.  Posted to MM-Recipes Digest
