This was so delicious! I have to agree with the other commenter - I think it was too much salt. I understand that ceviche has to be salty to keep bacteria from growing but this was pucker-your-mouth salty. Maybe just use 1 1/2 tbsp. instead of 2 1/2? That being said this was a fantastic ceviche very tasty. The fish "cooked" up just fine and it was so easy to make. We used tilapia since it was cheaper.
Great recipe! Thank you:) As stated in previous review the salt is out of proportion. I used the reviewers recommend 1/8 -1/4 tsp sea salt and Old El Paso Guacamole Mix for more kick and found it to be absolutley divine!
I made the recipe exactly EXCEPT used only 1/2 teaspoon salt, doubled the chili paste to 1 teaspoon and halved the olive oil (2 Tablespoons). It was perfect over spring mix salad greens and makes four one-cup servings. Definitely a keeper with great flavor. Hopefully everyone knows not to put as much salt as the recipe calls for or that will ruin it.
Love it but way too much salt. Is it a typo? Found I could use almost defrosted wild salmon so have ready in freezer all the time!
I've got a hunch that the first 2 ingredients got swapped and should instead be 1/4 tsp salt and 2 1/2 tbsp sugar. I did it this way and it was fantastic!
The hardest part of this recipe is the four hours you have to wait.
I only give this 4 stars because I don't think salmon is a good choice of fish to use in ceviche. It was just a bit heavy and meaty for my taste. I have used a very similar recipe with tilapia and pollock resulting in a more delicate dish. This recipe is very good and I wouldn't hesitate to use a lighter fish with it. Unlike others I found the salt content perfectly acceptable.
I made this a second time and reversed the sugar and salt quantities. AWESOME. Definitely a new favorite. I did salt to taste a little at the End to really make the flavors pop. But this is a fantastic dish.
Be very careful with this recipe. I really think the uploader meant to put teaspoon instead of tablespoon either way I cut the salt in half and it still was extremely salty. I added mango peach and bell pepper as that is what the ceviche's I've had in the past used and it helped to absorb the salt. All in all it's a great combination of flavors but the salt is overbearing.
