Description
Fresh white fish marinated in lime juice with cucumber, red bell pepper, green onion tops, garlic-infused oil, cilantro, and optional mint. A light, zesty dish with a mix of textures and flavors.
Instructions
- Dice the fresh white fish into small, bite-sized pieces.
- Place the diced fish in a bowl and pour the lime juice over it. Make sure the fish is fully covered by the lime juice. This will "cook" the fish through a process called denaturation. Let it marinate in the refrigerator for about 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even marination.
- Dice the cucumber, red bell pepper, and green tops of green onions. Discard the white parts of the green onions.
- When using purple onion, choose a small amount (about 1/4 cup) and prioritize using the green parts of the onion. The green parts are generally lower in FODMAPs than the white parts.
- After the fish has marinated, drain the excess lime juice.
- In a separate bowl, combine the marinated fish, diced cucumber, diced red bell pepper, diced purple onion, and chopped green onion tops.
- Drizzle the garlic-infused oil over the mixture. Add chopped cilantro and mint (if using). Mix everything gently to combine.
- Season the ceviche with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if desired) to taste.
- Serve the fish ceviche immediately as a light and refreshing appetizer or main dish.
- You can garnish the ceviche with additional chopped herbs or a slice of lime before serving.
