Wild Alaskan Halibut Ceviche

The most amazing show stopper you can bring to any hot summer gathering- HALIBUT CEVICHE. I fell in love with this dish during a summer study abroad in Peru back in 2004. It is essentially fish salsa. No cooking required. Just chopping, marinating in the fridge for 2 hrs min and voila. The acid in the limes cures (“cooks”) the fish. Bonus: our blast frozen halibut is sushi grade. The lazy man recipe I should take advantage of more often, but always make in the summer.

Good to Know STORY

Ceviche is a traditional coastal Peruvian dish that has gained popularity in the U.S. The halibut is cured (cooked) with citric acid, which gives it a very refreshing, vibrant, slightly acidic flavor. This recipe is a super fresh summertime dish to enjoy with friends out on the patio.
