Skinnymixer’s Ceviche is an impressive finger food to serve guests this entertaining season! The fresh salmon in a Mexican-inspired lime marinade is so incredibly easy to make.
Last Summer I made the most delicious Mexican Salmon Ceviche for my family gathering – it was demolished in record time! If entertaining I highly recommend doubling this recipe. I always make double when I make it, but we’ve kept the recipe size smaller for budget costs.
It is extremely important to use fresh, good quality fish or seafood when making this Mexican Ceviche. The lime juice starts to cook the fish with the acidity but there is no heat used in the recipe.
We’ve made it with fresh sashimi-grade salmon, but it would be delicious with other fish and seafood such as tuna, coral trout, snapper, king fish, prawns and scallops.
This Ceviche looks so fancy when serving but it is incredibly easy to make.
It is best served fresh, but great to make in advance on the day of entertaining and serve to guests when they arrive.
Serve with tortilla chips, corn chips or crispy tostadas.
