I am still trying to stick with my month of healthiness! So when we had friends over the other day, I decided to make a super fresh, delicious and low calorie appetizer- this Salmon Ceviche.
I have made two different versions of this lately: Once on Good Morning America Health and once on New Day Northwest. This is a third variation on it (kind of a hybrid of the other two versions) full of tropical juicy mango, creamy avocado, crunchy cucumber and a bite of spice from fresh jalapeno.
So delicious and so healthy! I feel like this is an awesome appetizer for all year round, but would also make an incredible light lunch or dinner. Being healthy never tasted so good!
Salmon Ceviche, makes about 2 ½ cups
½ lb Raw Fresh Wild Salmon
½ an english cucumber, diced
½ large mango, peeled and diced
½ large avocado, peeled and diced
½ jalapeno, minced
2 Tbs cilantro, minced
1 lime, zested and juiced
1 Tbs sesame seeds
1 Tbs sesame oil
2 tsp black sesame seeds
1) Add the chopped cucumber to a medium bowl.
2) Add the mango and avocado to the bowl.
3) Add the minced jalapeno and minced cilantro.
4) Add the lime zest and the juice of the lime.
5) Add the sesame seeds and the sesame oil.
6) Dice the piece of salmon (make sure you remove the skin and bones first!)
7) Mix everything together until well combined.
8) Transfer into a serving bowl and refrigerate until ready to serve (up to a couple of hours.)
9) Serve with rice crackers or cucumber slices.

this is truly stunning…i love all of the color and the way you describe the textures? heaven 🙂
thanks Heather!!
The colors are beautiful! I’m just not sure about eating raw fish. Could you substitute cooked prawns?
The lime juice actually cooks the fish so it winds up not being raw- but if your are uncomfortable, than yes, you can for sure sub prawns!
YUM YUM YUM! This salmon ceviche looks SO tasty! So happy to have a great recipe for it. The colors are beautiful in this dish too.
thanks Kristin!
Wow, two incredibly beautiful and tasty dishes in the space of one week! First your Citrus and Beet Salad and now this. I’m going to try this with ahi tuna, too.
Heather, I love ceviche….one having salmon is my favorite. The addition of mango & avocado here is the perfect full meal.
Looks divine, Heather! Just what I need to make this week. YUM!!!
This looks so fresh and delicious. Certainly makes eating healthier a whole lot easier!
Damn, Heather, that piece of salmon is gorgeous looking. Oh, and I’m definitely giving this recipe a try: the perfect bridge between my time in Hawaii and getting back to reality in California!
This Salmon Ceviche is right up my alley. My kids don’t care for cooked salmon, but they like raw salmon, so I think they would really like this.
Ceviche is one of my favorite go-to’s when I want something fresh, light and healthy. This looks outstanding!
I absolutely love ceviche and your version looks amazing! I will be making this soon!
Thanks Carrie!
How long can this be in the fridge for?
All day for sure, and I would eat it next day too- just cover with plastic wrap.
I was craving this even before I read this, and now my tummy is grumbling!
Oh good! I love ceviche too!
Made this the other day and it was delicious! I ate it with bagel crisps.
After posting it on FB, my friend from AZ took a stab at the recipe and was pleased with the results.
Thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe with us 🙂
so happy to hear that!! thank you!!
Yummy! I like to taste this salad.
You just made my day! Ceviche, here I come!
This looks so very yummy! Ceviche is one of my favorite dishes! A beautiful dish!
This was so good…….we just added diced red onion and some lemon juice as well…..marinated a total of 4 hours, tossed a little sea salt…….and YUM!!!!!!!
Beautiful and healthy!
Just put it in the fride to set. I am serving it with fresh tortilla chips. I’m anticipating a great dinner!
