INSTRUCTIONS

- Cut the fish and place it in a medium bowl. Gently stir the chili-garlic paste in with the fish, to distribute evenly.
- Add the lime juice, zest and coconut milk Stir to incorporate and cover and chill for 45-60 minutes.
- Drain the onions and add them along with the cilantro to the ceviche.
- Taste and adjust salt and lime, adding more if necessary.
