INGREDIENTS

Marinade halibut:

1 lb. boneless skinless halibut, cut into ¼” pieces

1 small yellow onion, finely diced

1 teaspoon sea salt

Fresh lime juice, enough to cover diced onion and halibut (about 1/2 cup)

Ceviche:

3 vine-ripe tomatoes, seeded and finely diced

1 jalapeno, seeds and ribs removed, and finely diced

METHOD

Place diced halibut, lime juice, and 1/4 cup of the white onion in a glass or ceramic non-reactive bowl.  Add sea salt and stir.  Let onion and halibut mixture marinate refrigerated for 1 hour, until halibut is cooked through and opaque.

Once halibut is done, drain liquid using a sieve, and place mixture back into a glass serving bowl.

Toss gently to combine. Place back in refrigerator for 1 hour for flavors to meld.
