Ceviche de Dorado con Chile Jalapeño y Coco

The fish is marinated in fresh lime juice (and therefore partly "cooked").

Recipe information

  • Yield

    Makes 6 first-course servings

Ingredients

1 pound mahi-mahi fillets, cut lengthwise into 1/4-inch-thick strips
1 1/2 cups fresh lime juice
1 1/2 teaspoons dried Mexican oregano
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
4 jalapeño chiles, seeded; 2 minced, 2 thinly sliced
1/4 cup toasted unsweetened shredded coconut
3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
Saltine crackers

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Combine fish, lime juice, and oregano in large glass bowl. Sprinkle with salt. Chill until fish turns opaque, stirring occasionally, about 50 minutes.

    Step 2

    Strain almost all lime juice from fish; return fish to bowl. Stir in onion, minced and sliced jalapeños, coconut, and cilantro. Season with salt. Chill at least 20 minutes and up to 2 hours. Serve in Martini glasses. Pass crackers separately.
