Salmon Ceviche

1 . Stage

Cut fish into ½-inch cubes and place in a large glass bowl, reserving any oddly shaped, fatty, or dark pieces of fish for the tiger’s milk. Season cubed fish with salt. Refrigerate while you prepare the onions and tiger’s milk.

2 . Stage

Prepare onions: cut ½ onion in half, then thinly slice 1 half and place slices in a medium bowl. Add sliced pepper and cilantro to bowl with onions.

3 . Stage

Make tiger’s milk: into a blender or food processor, combine reserved salmon (if using), remaining quarter red onion, lime juice, orange juice, garlic cloves, ginger, and cilantro stems. Pulse mixture 10 times in rapid succession, until solids are broken down but not completely pureed. (Alternatively, combine all ingredients in a bowl and let sit for 10 to 30 minutes.)

4 . Stage

Assemble ceviche: cut ½ avocado into small ¼” cubes and add to bowl of salmon, along with onions, peppers, and cilantro. Strain tiger’s milk over salmon and stir to combine.

5 . Stage

Let ceviche marinate for 10 minutes, then serve with corn chips. It is best to eat freshly made ceviche within the hour it is prepared, to avoid fish that is “overcooked” and soft.
