Arctic Char Ceviche (Bergfífla ceviche)
Bergfífla ceviche, also known as Arctic Char Ceviche, is a refreshing and flavorful dish that originates from Icelandic cuisine. This dish features fresh Arctic char marinated in citrus juices and mixed with vibrant vegetables and herbs, creating a delightful appetizer or light meal.
Ingredients
- 1 lb Arctic char, skinless and boneless
- 1 cup fresh lime juice
- 1 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1 red onion, thinly sliced
- 1-2 jalapeño peppers, seeded and finely chopped
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 cup cilantro, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a glass or stainless steel bowl, combine the lime juice and lemon juice.
- Cut the Arctic char into small, bite-sized pieces and add them to the citrus juice mixture. Make sure the fish is fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and "cooked" by the acidity of the citrus juices.
- Once the fish is ready, drain off most of the citrus juices, leaving just enough to keep the fish moist.
- Add the red onion, jalapeño peppers, cherry tomatoes, and cilantro to the fish. Gently toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Refrigerate the ceviche for an additional 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Serve the Bergfífla ceviche chilled, garnished with additional cilantro if desired.
