Good to know

Chef's tip

For a perfectly balanced ceviche, never marinate for more than 20 minutes: beyond that, the salmon turns dry and loses its tenderness. If it is too acidic, add 5 ml of olive oil to rebalance it ⚖️🐟

Freezing : Can you freeze this recipe?

Not recommended

Raw salmon, avocado and herbs lose texture and flavor.

Storage : How long does it keep?

Keeps for 24 hours at most in an airtight container in the refrigerator. The avocado oxidizes.

Making ahead : Can you make it the day before?

Yes

Possible. Assemble the day before and eat within 24 hours. Store in an airtight container in the fridge.

Reheating : How do you reheat it?

Not applicable. Ceviche is a cold dish. Reheating would spoil the texture and flavor.

Variations

Plate it using a ring mold.
Add fresh chili.
Serve well chilled.

Mistakes to avoid

Using unsuitable salmon: choose fresh, sashimi-grade salmon.
Mashing the avocado: mix gently.
Marinating too long: 15 minutes, until the surface of the salmon turns slightly opaque.
