Alaskan Halibut Ceviche and Market Lettuce

SweatTheStyle_Ceviche_IngredientsThis is a simple, clean, and easy recipe to make ceviche. For simple dishes like this the taste always depends on the quality of ingredients, especially the fish. We sourced all our fresh ingredients from the Hollywood Farmers Market including our protein, the beautiful Alaskan Halibut.

Since muscle protein is degraded during exercise, it’s important to replenish your body with a blend of protein and carbohydrates after a workout to help rebuild the structural aspects of the muscle. This is a super quick and tasty recipe to eat immediately after a sweat to help replenish your body.

Ingredients:
1 Fresh Skinless Alaskan Halibut, cut into 1/3-inch cubes
¼ c Lime Juice, freshly squeezed
½ Red Onion, small dice
1 Serrano Chile, minced
¼ c Cilantro, rough chop
4 c water
Sea Salt
1 Head Large lettuce, cored and cleaned
SweatTheStyle_Ceviche Directions:
Bring 4 cups of water to a boil in a saucepan. Put the Halibut in a medium size mixing bowl, pour the hot water over the Halibut and stir around with your hands or a spoon for no more than 5 seconds, then discard the water through a mesh strainer. This gets rid of any fishy smell or taste. Place the Halibut back into the mixing bowl and add all the ingredients together. Season to taste with sea salt flakes. Refrigerate the ceviche for about an hour. Serve with lettuce cups as a healthier alternative to tostadas.
Serves 4

Rainbow Citrus & Avocado Salad with Juicy Dressing

AdrianneHo_BloodOrange Citrus is in season so why not celebrate by combining all its diverse colors and tastes together. At the Hollywood Farmers’ market we found all the blood oranges, navel oranges, tangerines, grapefruits, and meyer lemons at farmer Laura Ramirez of J.J.’s Lone Daughter Ranch which is certified organic. She also grows a wide variety of avocados so we decided to add a beautiful fuerte avocado to ground the fresh juicy flavors of all our specialty citrus. Traditionally citrus fruits and avocados grow together so maybe that’s why they compliment each other so well.

SweatTheStyle_CitrusSalad_Ingredients Ingredients:
2 navel oranges
2 tangerines
2 blood oranges
2 pink grapefruit
1 meyer lemon, thinly sliced crosswise with the skin on
1 fuerte avocado, peeled, pitted, and thinly sliced
1 shallot, very thinly sliced
¼ c meyer lemon juice
½ c extra virgin olive oil
1 bunch of mizuna
½ c pistachios, shelled, toasted and lightly pounded
salt

SweatTheStyle_CitrusSalad Instructions:
Using a sharp utility or pairing knife cut off the top and bottom of the oranges, blood oranges, and grapefruits so that it sits flat on the cutting board. Cut down the side of each fruit curving the knife to follow its natural line, remove the skin and white pith. Place the fruit on its side and slice crosswise to make pinwheels, about a ¼ inch thick.

Peel the tangerines and with a paper towel gently rub off the pith and pull each piece apart.

To make the juicy dressing, put the meyer lemon juice and any left over juice from all the citrus into a bowl. Slowly whisk in the extra virgin olive oil and season with a pinch of salt.

To assemble the salad, put the citrus, shallots, avocado and mizuna into a large bowl and add a pinch of salt. Pour over the dressing and toss very gently. Layer the ingredients onto a plate and garnish with pistachios.
