to make this dish vegan simply use heart of palm in place of fresh fish
What you will need:
2 lbs of wild caught local fish: preferably halibut, seabass, or tuna
10-15 juicy limes
1 red onion
4 medium garlic cloves
4 inches of lemongrass (cut in 4-5 pieces)
1 cilantro bunch
2 tsp finely grated ginger
10 small cherry or grape tomatoes (I love lemon drop tomatoes)
1 avocado
Pink Himalayan salt 1.5 tbsp (more to taste)
White pepper to taste 2 tsp (more to taste)
Food processor
Very sharp knife
large prep bowl
cute serving dish
Method:
check with your local fish market about which fish you can consume raw. if you're uncomfortable eating raw fish, this recipe can be prepared with grill fish as well.
let's start with the fish. get the skin off & slice along the gain very thin. you want the slices to be about 2x 2 inches. small cubes work as well.
next place garlic, lemongrass, and ginger into a food processor until all pieces are very very small. you can also try chopping with a very sharp knife as fine as possible. add to your bowl with the fish. I like to work it in with my hands, but careful not to smash it!
next squeeze all the beautiful limes into your prep bowl and drizzle about 1 tbsp of avocado oil on top. give the bowl a twirl and let all ingredients sit for about 15 min while you prepare the rest.
now the onions. yes you may cry... but getting them thin is really the ticket. remove the onion peel and cut your onion in half from root to tip. then, in half again from root to tip. with each 1/4 chunk, slice onion very thin that it's almost see through. round your guiding hand's fingers so you don't loose one. toss onions in your bowl.
I like to quarter my tomatoes but you can chop them however you'd like. just make sure they're smaller then just in half. add to bowl
finely chop cilantro, some stem is ok but avoid the bottom 3 inches. add to bowl.
now, add salt and pepper as recommended or to taste but allow to marinate another 30 min to really absorb all flavor into your fish.
after marinating, arrange nicely on a cute plate, slice your avocado for the top, and have margarita handy.
enjoy :)
