Fish Salad

Posted by recipes On November - 20 - 2007

My father is an extraordinary cook who taught me this recipe. Although he mainly makes cooked meals, his fish salad is entirely raw and very addictive.

Ingredients:
• 200g pink snapper fillets (soak for 1 hour)
• 1 cup fresh corn kernels
• 1 red capsicum
• 1 green capsicum
• 1 yellow capsicum
• ½ onion
• ½ clove garlic
• juice of 4 lemons
• small bunch of Italian parsley
• pinch of sea salt and white pepper

Machine set up:
• First place the Living Juicer Mincing Strainer into the drum and onto the screw. Attach the drum cap onto the end of the drum by turning it counterclockwise until you feel it sits firmly. Then screw the Mincing Nozzle onto the drum cap turning it counterclockwise onto notch 1.
• Place a big bowl under the machines Pulp Discharge Outlet in order to catch the mince.
• Always be sure to start the machine before you enter anything into the Guide and keep the machine running until finished.

Preparation instructions:
• first cut the fish into small pieces the size of a chickpea or small grape
• then juice the lemon
• place the fish in a plate and pour the lemon juice on top
• let the fish soak for 1 hour turning it once or twice
• clean the capsicum while the fish is soaking
• slice it and let it run through the machine
• do the same with the parsley, the onion and the garlic
• now pour the unabsorbed lemon juice into a cup
• then mix the fish with all the other ingredients in a salad bowl
• season with salt, pepper and the remaining lemon juice

Preparation time: 12 min
Yields: 2 serves

Preparation hints:
I have found tuna, salmon and snapper to be the most suitable varieties of fish for raw use, but many other fish are just as healthy when eaten raw. Some people prefer the fish to soak for only 5-10 min; in that case, the original fish flavor stays stronger. Always try to buy fresh and unpolluted fish for a raw fish dish as the quality of the fish plays a major role in taste and safety when eaten raw.
