Ceviche

Ceviche is a dish that is common in Central and South America where fish is 'cooked' in a
marinade of citrus juices like lemon, lime, sour orange, etc., onion, chili peppers, cilantro etc. Really ceviche is one of the easiest dishes to make where you simply have to cut the fish into small pieces and then let it sit in the simple marinade for a few minutes to 'cook'. Pretty much any seafood would work in ceviche and I went with a white fish, halibut, and I used a lime and orange based marinade that included some onion, pickled jalapenos and cilantro. This halibut ceviche is amazingly light, bright and citrus-y good! I served the cechiche as an appetizer along with blue corn chips for dipping but you could easily make a bigger batch and serve it as a main along with a few sides.
