Ingredients
Tostones:
- 3 green plantains, quartered crosswise and peeled
- 3 cups peanut or canola oil
- Kosher salt
- Cilantro leaves
Directions
Heat oil in a heavy frying pan to 325 degrees F. Add the plantain quarters in 3 batches and fry until soft, about 2 minutes per side, turning once. Transfer to a paper towel-line plate with a slotted spoon to drain. Repeat with the remaining plantains.
Heat the oil to 375 degrees F. Using a tostone maker, tortilla press, meat pounder or other heavy object, flatten each plantain slice until 1/8 inch thick. Fry the tostones until crisp and golden brown, about 1 minute per side. Drain on paper towels. Sprinkle immediately with salt.
- Salmon Tartar
- 1 lb salmon, cut into 1/4" thick dice
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon pureed canned chipotles
- 1/4 cup capers, drained
- 1/4 cup finely chopped scallions
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped cilantro
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Avocado-Chipotle Relish
- 2 Haas avocados, peeled and pitted
- 1 tablespoon pureed canned chipotles
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 3 tablespoons creme fraiche
- Salt and pepper to taste
Place avocados, chipotle and lime juice in a medium bowl and mash with a fork until almost smooth, but some texture remains. Add the creme fraiche and fold until almost combined (should have a marbled appearance) and season with salt and pepper to taste
Assemble:
Place a heaping tablespoon of salmon tartar in the center of each tostones and top with a teaspoon of avocado-chipotle relish. Garnish with cilantro leaf. Serve immediately.

This is a wonderful dish. I was very surprised the combination of the salmo and tostones, this last one too dominican dish. But what can we expect from Bobby. He is just awesome.

This was one of the first recipes I ever made of Flays' years ago. It's excellent, the combination of flavors work very well. Be careful of the Chipotle, it's spicy, I cut down on how much I add. When I saw him make this on "Main Ingredient" he topped it with a splash of Tequila right before serving.
Also serving it in martini glass is a nice touch.
