What is ceviche and why should you make it?
Ceviche is a classic from the South American coast: raw fish gently cured in a vibrant citrus marinade. The result? Silky pieces of fish wrapped in lime, with a kick of pepper and the subtle aroma of fresh sea salt. Not only irresistibly delicious, but also quick to prepare. Perfect for anyone who loves tasty and easy dishes with a refined touch.
What you need for cod ceviche
Ingredients (serves 4)
- 250 g ultra-fresh cod fillet
- The juice of 2 limes
- 1 small red onion, finely sliced
- 1 green chili pepper, finely chopped
- A handful of coriander, roughly chopped

How do you make cod ceviche? (step by step)
- Cut the cod into small cubes of about 1 by 1 cm.
- Place the fish in a shallow dish and pour the lime juice and sherry vinegar over it. Toss well so every piece of fish is coated.
- Sprinkle with sea salt from Zeeland and a generous amount of white pepper. Add the onion, chili, and coriander.
- Let the ceviche rest in the fridge for 15-20 minutes. The fish will now cure in the citrus and become beautifully glossy.
- Drizzle with olive oil and serve immediately with thin toast or crispy flatbread.
