Salmon Ceviche

When Jason and I went to Turks & Caicos for our honeymoon, we had the most amazing salmon recipe.

We had this amazing ceviche (conch ceviche to be more accurate) that I’ve ever had.

I have always been afraid to make ceviche at home ’cause I’m like ‘omg what if I don’t do it right and we’re eating raw seafood and we get really sick?’

Well, one weekend I was really craving ceviche.

It was hot and I didn’t really want to do anything over a stove so I thought ceviche would be so delicious with some crusty bread and wine.

This took no time to make and the flavors were so FRESH and refreshing. I felt like I was back in the Turks and Caicos ;)

What exactly is ceviche?

Ceviche is a seafood dish typically made from fresh raw fish cured in citrus juices, such as lemon or lime.

Isn’t eating raw seafood bad for you?

Not really. If you get sushi-grade seafood, that is top quality.

So is ceviche eating raw fish?

In a sense, yes, but the acid “cooks” it, in a way.

I found this explanation online: The acid in the citrus denatures the proteins in the fish, causing it to become opaque and producing a firm texture.

Ingredients

• ▢ 1 pound fresh salmon filets, cubed into 1-inch squares
• ▢ 1 shallot, diced
• ▢ 1 avocado, cubed
• ▢ Juice of 1 lime

• ▢ Chopped parsley, for topping, optional

Instructions

• ▢
  In a large bowl, toss salmon, shallot, avocado, lime, salt and pepper together. Make sure you get the salmon cubes and avocado well-coated with the lime juice so the salmon gets "cooked" by the acid of the lime and the avocado stays bright green.

• ▢
  Serve with crusty bread and serve chilled.
