What makes this Cod Ceviche so Great?
It's delicious AND healthy. Ceviche is a low fat food, and the cod (or other white fish) is packed with omega-3s, selenium, Vitamin D, and vitamin B. Seafood is also a great low-calorie source of protein! Enjoy this treat while boosting your immune system and cardiovascular health.
Raw Vs Cooked Ceviche
Traditionally ceviche is made using raw fish (Or shrimp). The acidic juice in the lime will actually "cook" the fish. When using fish ordered from Sizzlefish, be sure to thaw and use the fish in the same day for maximum freshness, allowing the fish to soak in the citrus juices for at least one hour. You'll know the fish has soaked long enough when it becomes opaque in color. Alternatively, you can pre-cook the fish by grilling or baking the fish fillets.
How to Make Cod Ceviche
Prepare the Fish by Marinade, Grilling, Baking
If preparing raw, soak the fish in citrus juice for about an hour. We use lime juice, but some people use a mix of lemon and lime juice to marinate the fish. Feel free to mix things up by trying this recipe with Halibut, Haddock, Sea Bass, or your favorite white fish. If you do not like the idea of eating raw fish, don't have time to marinade, or just prefer to pre-cook the fish feel free to do so! Once you've cooked (or marinated) the cod, drain any juices and cut the fish into small pieces.
Prepare The Vegetables and Fruits
Chop the onion, cilantro, jalapeño, tomato, and cucumber into small chunks. Peel and slide the avocado into small chunks as well. There aren't a ton of ingredients, making for easy prep work!
Mix the Ingredients
Mix the fish you marinated (Or Cooked) earlier in with all of the fruits and vegetables. The fish should be cut into small chunks before mixing. Mix in a little hot sauce for flavor if you prefer a little kick and chill until ready to serve!Frequently Asked Questions
How long should the ceviche be marinated?
Let the fish set in the citrus juice for about an hour. This allows the acids in the lime (or lemon-lime) juice to "cook" the fish. Do NOT soak the fish for more than two hours or the acids will start to pickle your fish, giving a much different taste.
What do I do with the Juice when the fish is finished marinating?
Drain off any excess lemon or lime juice once you're done marinating the fish
Is eating ceviche safe?
Marinating the fish in an acid like lime lemon or lime juice kills bacteria, making ceviche safe to consume, assuming you've marinated the fish long enough. You'll know you've marinated the fish long enough when the fish appears almost cooked with an opaque color. Feel free to cook the fish with heat if you are still fearful of food-borne illness!
What types of Fish can be used with ceviche?
Halibut and cod are most commonly used to make ceviche, but you can really use any kind of fish. Try mixing things up with tuna, mahi-mahi, or haddock!
