- 1/2 cup Full-fat coconut milk
- 1/4 cup Red onion(finely diced)

👨🍳 Instructies
- 1
In a non-reactive bowl, combine the cubed raw fish with lime juice. Ensure the fish is fully submerged. Let it marinate for about 10-15 minutes, or until the fish turns opaque, indicating it has 'cooked' in the lime juice.
- 2
Gently drain most of the lime juice from the fish, leaving a small amount behind.

Add the coconut milk, diced red onion, tomato, cucumber, and minced chili (if using) to the bowl with the fish.
- 4
Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Gently toss all ingredients to combine.

Serve immediately, or chill for up to 30 minutes before serving for a colder dish. It's best enjoyed fresh.
