Mahi Mahi Ceviche Recipes

THE BEST CEVICHE RECIPE!

Steps:

• Slice the red onion thinly with the grain, and toss in a bowl with 1 teaspoon salt and the lime juice, coating well.
• Add the fish, garlic and fresh chilies, and gently mix.
• Add the tomatoes, cucumber, cilantro and olive oil, and give a stir and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving (45-60 minutes is ideal). The longer you marinate the firmer and more "cooked" the fish will become.
• Before serving, taste and adjust the salt and heat. Add more salt or chilies if you like. If adding avocado, gently fold it in right before serving- you may need to add a pinch more salt.
• To make the optional Avocado Sauce, blend all ingredients in a blender until smooth, adding a bit more water or oil, if needed to get the blades going.

MAHI MAHI CEVICHE

Steps:

• Combine the mahi mahi, lime juice, salt, garlic and onions. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
• Stir in the cilantro, oil, cayenne, tomatoes, jalapenos and avocados, and serve.

SHRIMP AND MAHI-MAHI CEVICHE

Steps:

• For the chipotle-lime poached shrimp: Combine the chipotles, lime juice, wine and salt with 4 cups water in a pot and bring to a boil. Prepare an ice water bath.
• Add the shrimp to the boiling liquid, reduce the heat to medium and poach the shrimp for 4 minutes. Remove the shrimp from the poaching liquid and chill in the ice bath. Slice the shrimp lengthwise along the seam.
• Cool the poaching liquid and store the shrimp in the chilled poaching liquid until ready to use.
• For the ceviche: Remove the shrimp from the poaching liquid. Combine the mahi-mahi, jalapenos, cantaloupe, honeydew, red onions, and shrimp in a large bowl.
• In another bowl, whisk together the lime juice, grapeseed oil, salt, sriracha and pepper. Pour over the fish and shrimp mixture and mix well. Store in the refrigerator 10 minutes before serving.
• For Plating: Spread the cream cheese on the bottom of 6 martini glasses and use it to "glue" the glasses to the centers of 6 serving plates. Divide the ceviche among the glasses. Garnish each with 2 sprigs of watercress and spread 10 tortilla chips around each glass.

GRILLED MAHI-MAHI, CEVICHE-STYLE

Steps:

• Rub the fillets with kosher salt and set aside. In a non-reactive bowl, combine the onion, lime juice, orange juice, jalapeno, sugar and tequila. Mix to dissolve the sugar, and add the fillets to the bowl. Marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours, turning the fillets once after 1 hour. Remove the fillets from the marinade and set it aside. Pat the fillets dry with paper towels and lightly coat with the olive oil.
• Heat a grill to high and place the fillets over direct heat until they are just cooked through - opaque at the center but still moist, approximately 3 to 4 minutes per side. While the fish is grilling, transfer the reserved marinade to a saucepan and heat until it is reduced to about 3/4 cup. Using tongs, remove the fillets to serving plates and divide sauce equally among them. Top with the cilantro.

SHRIMP AND MAHI MAHI CITRUS CEVICHE

Steps:

• For the ceviche: Place the shrimp into a pot of salted water. Place over medium heat and cook until just starting to turn opaque, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain before adding to the rest of the ceviche.
• Meanwhile, dice the mahi mahi into 1/4-inch pieces and set aside in a large nonreactive bowl.
• Peel the celery and place in a food processor with the lime juice and orange juice. Puree until smooth and set aside. Add the celery puree to the fish and sprinkle with the cumin, cayenne and some salt and black pepper. Add the shrimp and stir well to incorporate. Cover and chill the ceviche in the fridge for 15 to 20 minutes. The shrimp will turn pink and the fish will turn white when cooked. Toss with the cilantro just before serving.
• For the tortilla strips: In a large cast-iron pot over medium-high heat (or in countertop fryer), bring the oil to 325 degrees F. Add the tortilla strips and fry until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove to towel-lined dish and drain. Season with salt.
• To plate: Spoon the ceviche into a serving bowl and garnish with the tortilla strips and lime wedges.

MAHI-MAHI CEVICHE WITH JALAPENOS AND COCONUT

Steps:

• Combine fish, lime juice, and oregano in large glass bowl. Sprinkle with salt. Chill until fish turns opaque, stirring occasionally, about 50 minutes.
• Strain almost all lime juice from fish; return fish to bowl. Stir in onion, minced and sliced jalapeños, coconut, and cilantro. Season with salt. Chill at least 20 minutes and up to 2 hours. Serve in Martini glasses. Pass crackers separately.
