Quantities are estimated based on standard recipes for your convenience. The actual ingredients used in this video are accurate.

1

Chop the bell peppers, removing the seeds and white bits, into tiny cubes.

2

Use cherry tomatoes instead of big tomatoes, as they are sweeter.

3

Chop red onion finely, as it is milder and sweeter than white onion.

4

Squeeze the juice from the limes into a bowl.

5

Chop coriander finely, but not too finely, to avoid overpowering the taste of the fish.

6

Skin the fish using a technique where you pull the fish while pushing the knife to remove the skin.

7

Cut the fish into cubes.

8

Combine the fish with the chopped ingredients and lime juice in a bowl.

9

Add salt and black pepper to the mixture and stir well.

10

Let the mixture rest for about 5-10 minutes until the outside of the fish looks lightish.

11

Spoon the fish and garnish into a martini glass and sprinkle fresh garnish on top.

12

Top off the glass with more marinade juice and drizzle palm oil on top.
