Ingredients:

14 oz salmon
400g
1 tbsp lime juice
16g
1 red hot chili pepper red hot chili peppers
10g
1 red hot chili pepper red hot chili peppers
10g
1 avocado
200g
1 onion
110g
1 lime
70g
1/4 cup dried coconut meat
22g
1/2 cup arugula
10g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Salmon:
- Ensure the salmon fillet is fresh and properly cleaned. Remove any skin and visible bones.
- Cut the salmon into small, bite-sized cubes. Place the cubed salmon in a large mixing bowl.
2. Marinate the Salmon:
- Add 1 tablespoon of fresh lime juice to the bowl with the salmon. Toss gently to coat all pieces.
- Let the salmon marinate for about 10 minutes, allowing the lime juice to slightly "cook" the fish.
3. Chop the Vegetables and Fruits:
- Dice the onion finely and add to the bowl with the salmon.
- Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. Dice the avocado into small cubes and add to the bowl.
- Finely slice the red hot chili peppers (remove seeds for less heat) and add to the salmon mixture.
4. Prepare Additional Flavorings:
- Zest the whole lime and set aside. Then, squeeze the juice from the lime into the salmon mixture.
- Add the finely shredded dried coconut meat into the bowl. Mix all the ingredients gently.
5. Final Touches:
- Rinse the arugula under cold water and pat dry with a paper towel.
- Just before serving, fold in the fresh arugula leaves gently to avoid wilting them.
- Optionally, you can garnish the ceviche with a sprinkle of lime zest for added flavor and a burst of color.

Tips:

- Use the freshest salmon possible to ensure the best taste and texture. If you're unsure about the freshness of your salmon, consider freezing it first to kill any potential parasites.

- To evenly coat the salmon with lime juice, massage the lime juice into the cubed salmon pieces gently before adding other ingredients.

- Dice the avocado just before serving to prevent it from browning. If you need to prepare it in advance, toss the avocado pieces in a little lime juice to keep them fresh.

- For a less spicy version, you can remove the seeds and membranes from the red chili peppers, or use a milder chili variety.

- Toast the dried coconut meat lightly in a dry skillet over medium heat to bring out its natural sweetness and add a crunchy texture to the ceviche.

- Serve the ceviche immediately after mixing to preserve the fresh flavors and textures of the ingredients.

This salmon and avocado ceviche with coconut and arugula is a perfect dish for warm weather or as an appetizer for any meal. The tangy lime juice and spicy chili peppers beautifully complement the rich salmon and avocado, while the coconut and arugula add unique texture and flavor. Enjoy this nutrient-packed, refreshing dish with friends and family!
