Almond Free White Fish Ceviche with Turmeric & Ginger
Fresh citrus does all the heavy lifting here, slowly curing cubes of delicate white fish until they're firm, opaque, and absolutely bursting with bright, clean flavor. The combination of ground turmeric and freshly grated ginger gives this ceviche a warm, aromatic depth that sets it apart from the classic lime-only version — it's vibrant in both color and taste. Crisp cucumber, sharp red onion, and a touch of jalapeño add texture and a gentle kick, while creamy diced avocado and a drizzle of olive oil bring everything into balance. Because this dish is built entirely from fresh produce, citrus, fish, and pantry spices, there's nothing here that could sneak in tree nuts of any kind — no sauces, no garnishes, no surprises. It's naturally free of the cross-contact concerns that can make restaurant dishes or packaged foods stressful to navigate. The whole thing comes together with minimal effort and zero cooking, making it an impressive yet approachable dish for warm-weather entertaining or a light weeknight meal. Serve it straight from the bowl with extra lime wedges and let the ingredients speak for themselves.
