Orange Roughy Seviche with Kiwi
Deepwater fish are highly recommended for seviche as they as less likely to have the occasional natural parasite found inshore fish. Service must “cook” in a citrus marinade for at least 8 hours. Prepare this recipe in the morning to be served at night, or the day before.
- 3/4 cup orange juice
- 3/4 cup lemon juice
- 1/2 orange outer peel cut into 1 by ¼ inch strips
- 1 lb. Orange Roughy fillets rinsed, and cut into 1 inch by ¼ inch pieces
- 1 small red onion sliced
- 3 medium kiwis peeled & sliced
Mix juices, peel and fish in glass bowl.
Cover and refrigerate for up to 8-10 hours or overnight, tossing occasionally so juices marinate all fish pieces.
Fish will be opaque when done.
In serving bowl, place kiwi and onion.
With slotted spoon lift fish from marinade and mix, reserving ¼ cup of marinade.
Prepare dressing, then toss with fish and fruit.
Serve on watercress salad.

Mix ¼ cup marinade, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon capers, and 1 teaspoon minced fresh jalapeno chile.
