Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh white fish (such as mahi-mahi or snapper)
- 4 pieces limes
- 200 ml coconut milk
- 100 grams cherry tomatoes
- 1 small cucumber
- 1 small red onion
- 1 medium carrot
- 2 stalks green onion
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Start by preparing the fish: Cut the fresh white fish into small, bite-sized cubes and place them in a bowl.
Juice the limes and pour the lime juice over the fish. Stir gently to make sure all the fish pieces are coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 15 minutes, allowing the lime juice to partially 'cook' the fish (you will notice the fish turning opaque).
While the fish is marinating, prepare the vegetables: Halve the cherry tomatoes, peel and dice the cucumber, finely slice the red onion, peel and grate the carrot, and thinly slice the green onion.
After 15 minutes, drain about half of the lime juice from the fish (leaving some for flavor).
Add the coconut milk to the bowl with the fish, followed by the prepared vegetables (tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, carrot, and green onion). Gently mix to combine.
Season the ceviche with salt and black pepper to taste, then give it one final gentle stir.
If using, chop fresh cilantro and sprinkle it on top as a garnish.
Serve immediately for the freshest flavor. Tahitian Ceviche is perfect on its own or with a side of crusty bread or steamed rice.
