Note
Ensure the fresh salmon is sushi-grade or sashimi-quality to be safe for raw consumption.
The sherry reduction mentioned in the original recipe should be made by reducing sherry and water in a small pot until only 1/2 cup remains, then cooling before mixing with oils.
Use a ripe but firm avocado for the best texture in the vinaigrette.
Serve immediately to prevent the avocado from browning and to maintain the delicate texture of the raw fish.
