You can explore online retailers that specialize in premium ingredients for a great culinary experience.

Can I substitute the ingredients in this recipe?

While I encourage you to follow my recipe, you can always customize it to suit your preferences and dietary needs.

Feel free to experiment with different varieties of citrus fruits, such as lime or grapefruit, in place of oranges.

You can also swap out the yellow pepper for red or orange bell peppers to add extra sweetness and color.

For a milder heat, consider substituting the red chili pepper with a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes.

Can I make this recipe part of a menu?

Absolutely!

Mediterranean Salmon Ceviche pairs beautifully with a variety of Mediterranean-inspired dishes, creating a memorable dining experience.

Serve it as a refreshing appetizer alongside the irresistible Mediterranean Shrimp Croquettes, or The Best Spicy Salmon Tartare, or Salmon Caviar Deviled Eggs  or a Mediterranean mezze platter that delights the senses.

For a main course, serve this easy Foil Baked Sea Bream with Oven Baked Fries for a satisfying and nutritious meal.

For a dessert, go with my Chocolate Raspberry Tart or Mango Pavlova.

Which drinks pair well with this recipe?

You can complement the vibrant flavors of Mediterranean Salmon Ceviche with refreshing beverages that enhance its citrusy zest and delicate salmon.

Crisp white wines such as Sauvignon Blanc or Albariño provide a perfect balance of acidity and fruitiness, while sparkling rosé adds a touch of elegance to any occasion.

For a non-alcoholic option, try pairing it with a refreshing cucumber mint mocktail or citrus-infused sparkling water for a refreshing burst.

How long can I store this recipe leftovers?

While Mediterranean Salmon Ceviche is best enjoyed fresh, leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.

Please, keep in mind that the texture of the salmon may change slightly as it continues to marinate in the citrus juices.

For optimal freshness and flavor, consume leftovers within the first day of preparation.

Recipe tips & tricks

  • To achieve the perfect balance of flavors, allow the salmon to marinate in the orange juice and olive oil mixture for at least 20-30 minutes before adding the remaining ingredients.
  • Don’t forget to season generously with salt and pepper to enhance the natural flavors of the ingredients and bring out their full potential.
  • For a visually stunning presentation, garnish the ceviche with additional chopped herbs and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil just before serving.
