Salty, sour and a little spicy; tender halibut, smooth avocado, tomatoes and cilantro, all come together in a bright, fresh summertime dish.

Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs. Halibut, blotted dry and sliced into 1/2-3/4 inch cubes
  • 4 Plum Tomatoes, seeded and diced
  • 1/2 cup Red Onion, diced
  • 1/2 cup Cilantro, chopped
  • 2 Serrano Peppers, seeded and minced
  • 2 Garlic Cloves, minced
  • 1/2 cup Lime Juice, freshly squeezed
  • 1/2 cup Lemon Juice, freshly squeezed
  • 1 1/2 tsp. Fine Sea Salt
  • 1 – 3 tsp. Sriracha Sauce
  • 1 Avocado, seeded and diced
  • 2 Scallions, sliced thinly on the bias

Instructions

1

In a glass, 9x13″ baking dish, place the halibut, tomato, red onion, cilantro, Serrano peppers, and garlic.

2

Strain fresh squeezed citrus juice through a fine mesh strainer into a large, glass measuring cup.

3

To the citrus juice, add sea salt, and Sriracha; whisk to combine.

4

Pour the citrus juice mixture over the raw fish mixture. Mix until combined.

5

Cover, and place in the refrigerator.
