Instructions
Prep the ingredients
Slice the baguette into 1/2-inch rounds. Finely dice the salmon into small uniform cubes. Dice the red onion and mince the pickled mustard greens very finely. Chop the green onions and set aside.
Make the salmon mixture
Combine the salmon cubes, red onion, pickled mustard greens, and green onions in a bowl. Drizzle with a little olive oil and season generously with freshly cracked black pepper. Toss gently to combine.
Crisp the baguette
Heat a thin layer of olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the baguette slices and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer to paper towels to drain excess oil.
Assemble and plate
Spread a thin layer of yellow mustard on each toasted baguette round. Spoon the salmon tartare mixture on top. Arrange watermelon radish slices, quail egg halves, and fresh raspberries around the tartare as garnish. Serve immediately.
