Ingredients (4 servings)
500 g sea bass fillet, without skin and bones
1 large shallot (or 2 small ones), finely chopped
1 teaspoon(s) salt
8 limes, juice squeezed
1 orange, juice squeezed
2 red Thai chillies, chopped
1 bunch coriander
  • Soak the chopped shallots in ice water for five minutes to soften their pungent flavour.
  • Cut the fish fillets into 2cm cubes and salt them.
  • Leave to marinate for one minute, then add the juice of the orange and lime and the chilli and leave to marinate for just under 10 minutes. Taste and re-salt if necessary.
  • Divide the fish and marinade, which is called Leche de tigre or Tiger's milk in Peru because of its refreshing taste, into four bowls, garnish with coriander and serve immediately.
