Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

In a non-reactive glass or ceramic dish, gently combine the halibut with the lime juice, ensuring all pieces are submerged. (5 minutes)

02

Step
3 hrs

Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or until the fish is firm, opaque, and 'cooked' by the acidity of the lime. (3 hours)

03

Step
2 mins

Drain the lime juice from the fish, discarding the juice. (2 minutes)

04

Step
10 mins

In a separate bowl, combine the diced tomato, cilantro, green bell pepper, green onion, jalapeño pepper, and minced garlic. Season generously with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. (10 minutes)

05

Step
5 mins

Gently fold the marinated halibut into the vegetable mixture, ensuring everything is evenly distributed. (5 minutes)

06

Step
1 hrs

Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together beautifully. (1 hour)

07

Step

Serve chilled, garnished with extra cilantro or a lime wedge, if desired.

Use the freshest, highest-quality sushi-grade halibut you can find for the best flavor and texture.
Adjust the amount of jalapeño pepper to your personal preference for heat. Remember, you can always add more, but you can't take it away!
For a smoother texture, you can briefly pulse the vegetable mixture in a food processor before adding the fish, but be careful not to over-process.
Serve with tortilla chips, avocado slices, or tostadas for a complete and satisfying dish.
The marinating time may vary depending on the thickness of the fish cubes. Check for firmness and opacity to ensure it's properly 'cooked'.

    I've made this several times, and it always turns out delicious. I sometimes add a little bit of orange juice for a sweeter flavor.
