📝 Ingredients

• 9 oz salmon fillets (boneless, skin removed)
• 1 & 1/2 or 2 cups lemon or lime juice
• 2 tablespoons lemon or lime juice
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons garlic (minced)
• 1/3 cup soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil (optional)
• 1 medium onion
• 1 medium cucumber
• 2 small tomatoes
• 1-2 tablespoons pickled jalapeno (minced or fresh chili peppers)
• 1 medium avocado
• 1 sprig fresh cilantro leaves for garnish
• chips or crackers (optional)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Slice the salmon to cubes and add to a bowl with 1½ to 2 cups of lime juice, enough to cover the salmon. Set aside for 25 - 30 minutes until it changes in color and looks more opaque.
2. 2For the dressing, mix salt, pepper, olive oil, garlic, soy sauce, and 2 tablespoons lemon or lime juice ( you can also add a splash of sesame oil). Do a quick taste test to see if it's to your liking. Set aside.
3. 3Slice the onions thinly and remove the seeds. Chop the cucumber and tomatoes.
4. 4Strain the salmon, and place it back into the bowl, mix in the onions, cucumbers, tomatoes, and jalapeno.
5. 5Slice the avocadoes into cubes and add them to the dressing bowl. Fold gently to avoid mashing the avocados.
6. 6Mix well and taste. Add more salt or pepper if needed. Refrigerate for 1 - 3 hours to allow the flavors to blend well.
7. 7Scoop the ceviche into a clean bowl, avoiding leftover liquids at the bottom of the original bowl. Garnish with fresh cilantro and a side dish of chips or crackers.
