Main Ingredients:

• Sushi Grade Wild Caught Salmon (bite sized pieces)
  
• Enough lime or lemon juice to cover salmon
• You can also add in some of the extra ingredients when marinating fish for extra flavor

Basic Instructions:

1. Add salmon and citrus juice to a glass or ceramic bowl and marinate for desired time (in your refrigerator if you like).
2. When marinating time is up, drain the citrus juice and add in the extra ingredients.

Ingredients:  

• Sushi Grade Wild Salmon Fillet (cut into cubes)
  
• 1 Organic Garlic Clove (minced)
  
• 1/2 Small Organic Red Onion (minced)

• Few Slices of Organic Fennel (thinly sliced)
• Juice of 1 Organic Orange
• Juice of 1/2 an Organic Lime

• Optional:  Sea Salt & Black Pepper
  

Instructions:

1. Combine all of the ingredients into a glass bowl and marinate for 2 hours.

Be sure your salmon fillet is deboned before cutting into cubes.  You can also remove the skin before cubing the salmon fillet.

I like the tropical feel of this fish ceviche and it's a great way to use fruit chutneys.

Ingredients:

• 10 to 11 oz. of Sushi Grade Wild Caught Salmon (cut into cubes)
• 1 oz. Banana Chutney
• 1 oz. Organic Lime Juice
• 2 Tbsp. Organic Red Onion (thinly sliced)
• 1 Tbsp. Organic Scallions (finely chopped)
• 2 Sprigs Organic Cilantro (finely chopped)
• 2 Tbsp. Organic Unsweetened Dried Coconut (toasted)

Instructions:

1. Mix together the banana chutney and lime juice.  Then add in the cubed salmon and stir to coat each piece of fish.  Marinate in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
2. Remove ceviche from refrigerator and add the red onions - marinate for 10 more minutes in the refrigerator.
3. Take ceviche out of refrigerator.  Add the scallions and cilantro.

Plate this ceviche in attractive glasses or Martini glasses.  Top with toasted coconut.

You could also drizzle on a little homemade raw coconut milk (if you have some) to make this ceviche even more tropical.

Ingredients:

• 10 oz. Sushi Grade Wild Salmon Fillet (cut into cubes)
  
• 1 Cup Organic Lime Juice
• 1/2 Small Organic Onion (chopped)
  
• 1 Organic Tomato (chopped)
  
• 3 Sprigs Organic Cilantro (chopped)
• 4 Tbsp. of Raw Apple Cider Vinegar
• 1 Small Organic Avocado (chopped)
  
• Optional:  Sea Salt & Black Pepper
  

Instructions:

1. Marinate the salmon in lime juice for 1 hour - then drain the juice.  Next, add in the other ingredients and stir to combine.
2. Serve with your favorite chips.

Also, a fan of raw apple cider vinegar!  It's an interesting combo - lime juice with apple cider vinegar.

Marinating fish can range from a few minutes to a few hours and even overnight.  As a general rule, the longer you marinate fish - the tougher your fish will be. 

The acid from citrus fruits will change the texture of the proteins in your fish and make it appear "cooked".

I would use a ceramic or glass bowl for marinating fish.  And I would stay away from using metal bowls - or you might end up with a metallic tasting ceviche! 

Have fun experimenting with different flavors, marinating times, and wild caught fish when making your fish ceviche.
