Salmon Ceviche

January 8th, 2012

I am still trying to stick with my month of healthiness! So when we had friends over the other day, I decided to make a super fresh, delicious and low calorie appetizer- this Salmon Ceviche.

I have made two different versions of this lately: Once on Good Morning America Health and once on New Day Northwest. This is a third variation on it (kind of a hybrid of the other two versions) full of tropical juicy mango, creamy avocado, crunchy cucumber and a bite of spice from fresh jalapeno.

So delicious and so healthy! I feel like this is an awesome appetizer for all year round, but would also make an incredible light lunch or dinner. Being healthy never tasted so good!

Salmon Ceviche, makes about 2 ½ cups
½ lb Raw Fresh Wild Salmon
½ an english cucumber, diced
½ large mango, peeled and diced
½ large avocado, peeled and diced
½ jalapeno, minced
2 Tbs cilantro, minced
1 lime, zested and juiced
1 Tbs sesame seeds
1 Tbs sesame oil
2 tsp black sesame seeds

    The colors are beautiful! I’m just not sure about eating raw fish. Could you substitute cooked prawns?

    The lime juice actually cooks the fish so it winds up not being raw- but if your are uncomfortable, than yes, you can for sure sub prawns!

    Wow, two incredibly beautiful and tasty dishes in the space of one week! First your Citrus and Beet Salad and now this. I’m going to try this with ahi tuna, too.

    Damn, Heather, that piece of salmon is gorgeous looking. Oh, and I’m definitely giving this recipe a try: the perfect bridge between my time in Hawaii and getting back to reality in California!

    This Salmon Ceviche is right up my alley. My kids don’t care for cooked salmon, but they like raw salmon, so I think they would really like this.
