Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 pound fresh, sushi-grade fish; ahi tuna, yellowfin tuna, halibut or snapper
  • 4 cups cold water
  • 2 tablespoons salt plus more for seasoning
  • 3/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 3/4-1 cup whole fat coconut milk fresh is best
  • pepper to taste

Optional Ingredients

  • 1 whole carrot peeled and grated
  • 6 ounces cucumber seeded and diced
  • 1/3 cup scallions sliced into rings
  • 1 whole tomato seeded and diced, squeezed in cheesecloth to remove excess liquid
  • unsweetened fresh coconut shreds

Instructions

  1. Dice the fish into 3/4 inch pieces, then cover with cold water and 2 tbsp salt (add a few ice cubes if the water is not chilled). Let the fish sit for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, squeeze your limes to juice them.
  2. Drain the fish and pat it dry. Submerge the fish in fresh lime juice; you will need between 3/4 cup and 1 cup to cover. Let the fish marinate, stirring occasionally, for 15-30 minutes until the edges are opaque and the center of each piece is still pink.
  3. While fish is marinating, prepare your vegetables. You may use any or all of the vegetables listed above; reserve a little of each on the side for garnish.
  4. Drain the lime juice from the fish, then return the fish to the bowl. Stir in the fresh vegetables and coconut milk. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Allow the mixture to marinate in the refrigerator for 15-30 minutes.
  5. Serve cold garnished with fresh vegetables. May be enjoyed over coconut rice for a more filling entrée.
