Salmon ceviche with a margarita dressing
serves 4
Total time:
Our fresh salmon ceviche recipe is vibrant and easy to make. The margarita cocktail mixture doesn’t cook the salmon, but it turns it opaque and changes the texture using the Peruvian method. The recipe is rated ‘a little effort’ as you really need to find a very fresh piece of fish for this. Ask your fishmonger or your supermarket’s fish counter.
