👨🍳 Instructies
- 1
In a non-reactive bowl (glass or ceramic), combine the cubed fish, lime juice, sliced red onion, chopped chili, and sea salt. If using, add grated ginger. Gently toss to combine.
💡 Pro Tips: Ensure the fish is fully submerged in the lime juice. - 2
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and firm. The lime juice will 'cook' the fish.

While the fish is marinating, rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, coconut milk, and 1.5 cups of water. Add a pinch of salt.
💡 Pro Tips: Using coconut milk adds a rich, tropical flavor to the rice. - 4
Bring the rice mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15-18 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender.
💡 Pro Tips: Avoid lifting the lid during cooking to trap steam. - 5
Once the rice is cooked, let it rest, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.

Gently drain any excess lime juice from the marinated fish. If using, stir in the grated fresh coconut.
💡 Pro Tips: Don't drain all the liquid, as some of the marinade adds flavor. - 7
Serve the lime-marinated fish alongside the coconut rice. Garnish with sliced scallions.
💡 Pro Tips: This dish is best served immediately.
