recipe: pacific halibut ceviche

 
 
It's my last day in Lima, Peru. Since it's all about ceviche here (and countless other tasty culinary delights), I thought I'd share my Pacific Northwest version, made with sustainable Pacific halibut. It's quick and easy to make and packs a kick of heat from the jalapeno. Buen provecho!
 
2 lbs. Pacific halibut, cut into ½” pieces
½ cup fresh squeezed lime juice
½ cup fresh squeezed grapefruit juice
1 small jalapeno, seeded and finely diced
2 teaspoons of sea salt
½ red onion, finely diced
1 grapefruit, cut into segments and halved, the long way
4 small tomatillos, finely diced
¼ cup cilantro, finely chopped

 
Method:
  • In a glass bowl, combine fish and lime and grapefruit juices.
  • Cover and let sit in the refrigerator for one hour.
  • When ready to serve, add red onion, jalapeno, tomatillos and grapefruit segments. Toss gently and season with sea salt. Garnish with chopped cilantro.
  • Serve immediately with tortilla chips.
Optional: Can use farmed bay scallops as a substitute for some of the fish as a substitute for some of the fish.
