Full of fresh fish and vibrant herbs, this dish can be eaten as a main course or as a starter. Requiring no cooking at all, just a little patience as you wait for the lemon juice to slowly marinate your fresh fish, this dish is a vibrant and tasty addition to your spring and summer menu.
In a large glass or ceramic bowl, combine the fish, lime juice and onions. Use a shallow wide dish so that the juice completely covers the fish, if not add a little more juice. (N.B. The process of marinating the fish in lemon juice does not work well in a metal bowl !)
Cover and pop in the fridge for an hour and a half.
Your fish is ready when it has turned from opaque to white and it will feel firmer.
Remove the fish and the onions from the lime juice (discard the juice).
Add the olives, chillies, tomatoes, coriander and olive oil. Stir everything together gently so as not to break up the chunks of fish.
Season with salt and a pinch of sugar, to taste.
This can be made a couple of hours in advance and can happily stay in the fridge until needed.
