Sea Bass Ceviche

Sea Bass Ceviche Portions: 4

This dish is a really tasty, fresh dish that will bring your taste buds alive! With sweet, soft, sour, crunchy and smooth texture it really does bring amazing flavours. The best thing about it is it is so simple to make and good for you as well.

This is a recipe was introduced to me by my sous chef, and friend of mine Phil Leicester who needs a mention when giving this recipe, nice one!

Ingredients:

• 2 sides of sea bass fillets (1 whole)
• 25ml coconut milk
• 2 limes
• 20g palm sugar
• 25ml fish sauce
• 25ml sesame oil
• drop of soy sauce
• 2 ripe avocados
• olive oil
• coriander
• a red chilli
• sesame seeds
• mixed cress

Ceviche Dressing

To make the Ceviche dressing and marinade, simply enough melt down the palm sugar, and then its simple, just mix the juice of 1 lime, the palm sugar, fish sauce, sesame oil and soy sauce together and season with salt and pepper. Taste the dressing as you go to understand the transformation it goes through as you add the ingredients. Once finished taste and add a drop more of one or the other, the marinade should have a zing and a sharpness to it as well as a creaminess from the coconut milk


Avocado guacamole

Although i call this a guacamole, it is not really and has the oriental taste to it. Simple take the flesh from the avocado and chop it up roughly. Chop up as fine as you can the red chilli with the seeds out, however if you do like hotter food, leave them in! Mix chopped coriander leaves with olive oil just to combine the ingredients, keeping it quite thick.


Sea Bass

With the Sea bass, if you do have it filleted and boned then brilliant but if you don't and are stuck then your fish monger can help. Simply thinly slice the bass on an angle with the skin off and thats it! Marinade the fish in the ceviche for a few minutes or if you have the time a bit longer

Place the fillets on the plate with a few generous blobs of avocado. finish it of with a few micro cress herbs such as coriander cress. Garnish with a sprinkle of sesame seeds and a drizzle of the dressing

Enjoy!
