One of my favorite recipes to make is fresh fish ceviche. This easy recipe will leave you asking for more.

2 lbs. of fresh halibut, or albacore or any other white fish you choose

2 tsp. grated lemon peel

2 cups of freshly squeezed lemon juice

1 cup of finely chopped red onion

2 medium chopped tomatoes

2 medium peeled and chopped cucumbers

Handful of finely chopped cilantro

1 medium finely chopped jalapeño

Salt and pepper to taste

Slice fish at a 45 degree angle into paper- thin slices. Place in a bowl and stir in lemon juice and lemon peel. Cover and place in fridge for about 30-45 mins or until fish is fully cooked. Drain juice and add chopped onion, chopped tomatoes, chopped cucumbers, cilantro, jalapeño, salt and pepper. Serve with homemade tortilla chips or tostadas.

You can also top with avocado slices, sprouts and add Tapatio sauce for a kick. You can pick up fresh fish from Miguel, from Santa Barbara Channel Seafood Company. You can find him at our Downtown Ventura and Santa Clarita Farmers’ Markets.
