Salmon Ceviche
Description
Salmon Ceviche blends diced fresh salmon with a mixture of lemon, lime, and grapefruit juices, which gently cure the fish and infuse it with bright citrus flavors. Red onion, garlic, and diced sweet bell pepper contribute crunch and pungency, while ground cumin, coriander, and smoked paprika introduce warm, earthy notes. Avocado adds creamy texture contrasting with the acidity of the marinade. Mixing and letting the components meld briefly before serving yields a vibrant dish with balanced flavors and textures.
This ceviche is best served chilled as a light appetizer or side dish, offering a crisp and fresh seafood option. It pairs well with simple crackers or tortilla chips for scooping, or alongside a fresh salad for a complete light meal.
Adding citrus zest enhances the aroma and flavor, and a drizzle of olive oil before serving can add subtle richness. Freshness of ingredients and proper chilling are key to the dish’s texture and taste balance.

- 1 onion red, minced
- 1 lemon juiced

- 1 pound salmon diced small
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1 Sweet Bell Pepper diced
- 1 avocado diced
- 1/4 teaspoon cumin ground

- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (use regular paprika if you can't find smoked)
- 1/2 cup cilantro or huacatay, chopped
