👨‍🍳 निर्देश

1
Prepare the fish: Rinse the fish cubes under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Place them in a non-metal bowl.
2
Make the marinade: In a separate bowl, whisk together the coconut milk and lime juice until well combined.
3
Marinate the fish: Pour the coconut-lime mixture over the fish, ensuring all pieces are coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 1 hour, allowing the lime juice to 'cook' the fish slightly and the flavors to meld.
4
Prepare the vegetables: While the fish is marinating, dice the red onion, cucumber, tomato, and bell pepper (if using). Chop the cilantro and finely chop the chili pepper (if using).
5
Assemble the dish: Gently fold the diced vegetables, chopped cilantro, and chili pepper (if using) into the marinated fish. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
6
Serve: Serve chilled, garnished with extra cilantro or lime wedges. Ika Mata is best enjoyed fresh.

💡 पेशेवर सुझाव

✓Use the freshest, sushi-grade fish you can find for the best flavor and texture.
✓Adjust the amount of lime juice and chili to your preference.
✓For a richer flavor, you can let the fish marinate for a bit longer, but be careful not to over-marinate, which can make the fish mushy.
