Kokoda | FoodieAtlas

Ingredients

1 lb (450 g) fresh fish fillets (such as snapper or mahi-mahi), cut into small cubes
1 cup fresh lime or lemon juice
1/2 cup coconut milk
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 red bell pepper, finely chopped
1 green bell pepper, finely chopped
1 small cucumber, peeled and diced
1 small tomato, diced
1-2 fresh chili peppers, finely chopped (optional, adjust to taste)
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped
Salt and black pepper to taste
Lettuce leaves, for serving (optional)

Instructions

Marinate the Fish

In a large bowl, combine the fish cubes with lime or lemon juice. Ensure the fish is fully covered by the juice.

Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the fish is opaque and "cooked" by the citrus juice.

Prepare the Kokoda

Drain the fish from the marinade and gently pat dry with paper towels.

In a large bowl, combine the coconut milk, chopped onion, minced garlic, red bell pepper, green bell pepper, cucumber, tomato, and chili peppers (if using).

Mix and Season

Add the marinated fish to the bowl and mix gently to combine with the other ingredients.

Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Serve

Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley.
