Sea bass ceviche

6 servings

25 minutes

Ceviche of sea bass is an exquisite dish of Latin American cuisine, inspired by the ancient traditions of Peruvian fishermen who prepared fresh fish marinated in citrus juice. The tender sea bass fillet soaked in vibrant lime juice gains a refreshing tang that perfectly complements the aromatic sauce made from sesame and olive oil, herbs, and ginger. The light spiciness of cayenne pepper enhances the delicacy of flavor, while arugula adds a pleasant bitterness. This dish requires no cooking, preserving all the natural freshness of the fish.
