Pulled this recipe out of a magazine--love salmon and avocado so couldn't go wrong with this one...pretty quick prep and yum!
Ceviche (Peru)
MAKES 4 servings
PREP 15 minutes REFRIGERATE 20 minutes
1 lb salmon, skin removed, diced into 1/2-inch cubes
1/2 cup fresh lime juice
1 avocado, diced into 1/2-inch cubes
1/2 cup red onion, finely diced
1 jalapeno, seeded and finely diced
1/2 cup cilantro, chopped, plus more for garnish (optional)
1/2 tsp salt
*Combine salmon and lime juice in a bowl, making sure fish is submerged. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
*Pour off all but 1 tbsp of the lime juice. Gently mix in avocado, onion, jalapeno, cilantro and salt. Garnish with more cilantro, if desired.
Buy best-quality seafood when it's to be eaten raw or undercooked.
MMWM Notes:
1. Our family does not like cilantro, so we eliminated this from the recipe.
2. Not sure if the salmon in this recipe is supposed to be raw or cooked--?--but I went with cooked. Instead of fresh salmon (which I probably ought to try some time), I found a box of grilled salmon (2 pieces per box--as healthy as I could find) and cooked it (via oven and/or microwave).
3. I tend to make a larger portion of this by increasing the amount of salmon a bit and increasing the avocados to three (we are huge avocado fans). If you do this, might want to use some more lime juice to keep it moist.
