Red Snapper Ceviche

Like salmon, red snapper is high in nourishing omega-3 fatty acids that boost memory and brain
function. Although the ceviche is full of good fats and protein, it still feels very light and refreshing—
perfect for a hot summer day. When making ceviche, it is crucial to get very high-quality fish, so I
suggest buying it from a fishmonger you trust. You can find young coconuts at Asian supermarkets
and well-stocked grocery stores.

1 fresh red snapper fillet (about
²⁄₃ pound/300 g), cut into
¾-inch (2 cm) pieces
¼ cup (60 mL) thinly sliced red
onion
¼ cup (60 mL) fresh lemon juice
¼ cup (60 mL) fresh lime juice
2 cloves garlic, minced
½ teaspoon (2 mL) sea salt
1 young coconut
2 small avocados, peeled, pitted,
and diced
¼ cup (60 mL) loosely packed
fresh cilantro leaves
To Serve
Extra-virgin olive oil
1. In a medium bowl, add the snapper, red onion, lemon juice,
lime juice, garlic, and salt. Toss to combine. Refrigerate until
the fish becomes slightly opaque and firms up a bit, 20 to
25 minutes, stirring the mixture halfway through the chill time.
2. Meanwhile, place the coconut, pointed side up, on a flat sur-
face. Using the heel of a cleaver, firmly hack into the top part
of the coconut to break through the shell. Continue hacking
until you have a large, square-shaped hole in the shell.
Remove the top piece of the shell. Strain the coconut water
into a glass. (Now you can drink it!) Using a spoon, scrape
out the coconut meat. Chop it into small pieces.
3. Add the coconut meat, avocado, and cilantro to the fish mix-
ture. Stir to combine.
4. To serve, divide the ceviche among plates, drizzle with a bit
of olive oil, and sprinkle with pepper. Serve with tortilla
chips and hot sauce, if using.
