Halibut Ceviche

Halibut ceviche with avocado and lime
We’re just finishing up a crazy heat wave here that saw temperatures well over 100F across most of LA.  I’m lucky to work near the beach where it’s much cooler but it’s still close to 90 when I get home at night.  Granted, I know I have no right to complain given that our weather is perfect 98% of the time and just “really good” the remaining 2% but I still haven’t been super excited to turn on the oven at night.

Ceviche to the rescue! This is an old favorite I haven’t made in years but will be making much more often now that we remember how awesome it is.  The trick is super fresh fish – I splurged at our fancy schmancy seafood shop for fresh local halibut but any not-too-oily fish will work in this recipe.  Most other white fish won’t need quite as much time as the halibut to cook.

Halibut Ceviche with Lime
So, this dish is freak-out good.  It’s actually been a week since I made it and Brad is still reminiscing almost daily. We served it as a full-on entree with just some chips and hot sauce but keep it in mind as an hors d’oevre or appetizer. Because the citrus juices actually cook the fish, we didn’t hesitate to take leftovers to work for lunch the next day and they were just as tasty.   This dish is paleo, gluten-free, and overall very healthy excluding the chips part (it can also be served over lettuce).  I hope you can try it out soon!

    Why reserve 2 tbsp of the juice…? If I follow these directions, I’ll have juice sitting there doing nothing.

      Sorry for the confusion, Paul! I just mean don’t drain all the juice. It’s nice to keep a bit with the fish for dressing. I’ll update the recipe to make that more clear.
