💡Fish for ceviche must be very fresh: the acid changes the texture and color, but it doesn't replace cooking. Buy fish meant for eating raw and keep it cold until the last moment.
5
Add the cucumbers, green onion, dill, lemon zest, lemon juice and salt to the fish, and pour the olive oil over the top.
💡The olive oil coats the fish and keeps the lemon from "cooking" it too much; mix just before serving.
6
Stir gently and taste.
7
Slice the zucchini into long, thin ribbons with a vegetable peeler. Sprinkle them with a little salt, let stand 5 minutes to soften and pat dry with paper towels.
