Peruvian Tilapia Ceviche

April 21, 2015 by Improv Oven

Peruvian Tilapia Ceviche

One of the most common fish or seafood items you often see at the grocery store is tilapia. But let’s face it, frying this fish on the stovetop or baking it in the oven can get a little boring. Fortunately we were introduced to the concept of ceviche a few years back and have been hooked ever since. Ceviche is a popular seafood dish introduced in the coastal regions of Latin America that uses fresh raw fish and citrus juices, primarily lemons and limes, to “cook” the fish, mixed with fresh cilantro, onions, and accompanied with avocado, corn or sweet potato salads. Ceviche recipes call for any type of white fish, like sea bass or grouper, or even shrimp, squid (calamari) or octopus (I know, right?!). However we’ll focus todays’ recipe on tilapia. This mild tasting white fish is high in protein, low in fat and substitutes well in any seafood recipe, like this classic Peruvian style ceviche.

Ingredients
  • 2 lbs fresh tilapia, cubed
  • 1/2 cup lime juice
  • 1/2 cup lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh chopped cilantro
  • 1/4 red onion, sliced thin
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • optional
  • 1 habanero pepper, chopped (many traditional ceviches call for a little heat, use at discretion)
Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl add tilapia, citrus juices, garlic, salt, pepper and cilantro and stir until well combined. Cover and stick in refrigerator for 45 minutes.
  2. When ready to serve stir in sliced onions or garnish on top of ceviche.

Tip: It’s ok to leave ceviche in refrigerator longer to allow it to marinade but made sure you only add onions when ready to serve or they will get soggy
