Ceviche is a dish with roots in Peru where raw fish marinates in citrus or acid which causes the fish to cure and turn opaque all while taking on the flavor of the marinade. In this recipe, the salmon is cured in lime juice and then tossed with mango, avocado and green apple for a refreshing and flavorful bite.

Delish!
Delicious. Very refreshing. The apple adds a nice sweet counterpoint to the lime juice. Thoroughly enjoyed!

Made a big batch for my office, and we loved it! So fresh and light. We added a dash of saracha for some spice to cut the lime a bit.
DELIGHTFUL!
Inedible. You’ve been warned.
