Steps:
- Slice the red onion thinly with the grain, and toss in a bowl with 1 teaspoon salt and the lime juice, coating well.
- Add the fish, garlic and fresh chilies, and gently mix.
- Add the tomatoes, cucumber, cilantro and olive oil, and give a stir and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving (45-60 minutes is ideal). The longer you marinate the firmer and more "cooked" the fish will become.
- Before serving, taste and adjust the salt and heat. Add more salt or chilies if you like. If adding avocado, gently fold it in right before serving- you may need to add a pinch more salt.
- To make the optional Avocado Sauce, blend all ingredients in a blender until smooth, adding a bit more water or oil, if needed to get the blades going.

GREEN CEVICHE WITH CUCUMBER
This is a dish good enough to feed presidents, and that's what it did when the chef Rick Bayless served it at a state dinner at the White House in 2010 for President Felipe Calderón of Mexico. The green hue comes from cilantro and parsley, and the recipe is similar to one in "Fiesta at Rick's," his cookbook published that same year.

Steps:
- Place a dry nonstick or cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Roast unpeeled garlic cloves and chilies, turning frequently, until soft, about 10 minutes for the chilies and 15 minutes for the garlic. Cool, then remove skins from garlic and stems from chilies.
- In a food processor, combine chilies, garlic, cilantro, parsley, olive oil and salt. Process until nearly smooth. Cover the herb paste and refrigerate until needed.
- To finish ceviche: In a large bowl, whisk together the lime juice and 1/2 cup of herb paste. Add fish and cucumber, and stir to combine. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes (or up to an hour). Transfer remaining herb paste to a jar, cover with a film of oil, refrigerate and save for another use, like stirring into eggs or smearing on chicken before roasting or grilling.
- Taste and season with additional lime juice or salt as desired. Gently fold in most of the avocado, reserving a few cubes as a garnish. Line plates or cocktail glasses with lettuce leaves, and top with ceviche and remaining avocado.

SCALLOP SEVICHE IN CUCUMBER CUPS
Steps:
- Combine the scallops, tomatoes, herbs, peppers, olive oil, and hot sauce. Add enough lime juice to cover the scallops. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Marinate, covered, in the refrigerator at least 1 hour and up to 8 hours, stirring occasionally.
- Trim the cucumber slices with a round, fluted cutter to remove the rind. Scoop a pocket out of the middle of the cucumber slices. Do not cut all the way through the slice. Fill the cucumber cups with the seviche. Garnish each seviche cup with a small dot of sour cream and a cilantro leaf.

Steps:
- Ceviche: Rinse fish in cold water, then pat dry. Chop finely, and combine in bowl with lime juice, salt, and pepper flakes or hot sauce. Mix well and move to fridge--allow to sit for 15 minutes. Add cilantro. Add salt and pepper to taste. Cucumber cups: Peel cucumbers and score lengthwise with the tines of a fork. Chop off and discard the ends. Slice cucumbers into 3/4" to 1" rounds. Use a small spoon or melon baller to scoop out most of the seeds, leaving a 1/4" layer intact at the bottom of each cup. Presentation: Cut avocado in half and remove pit. Slice crosswise. Leaving most of the liquid in the bowl, scoop 1 tablespoon ceviche into each cucumber cup. Garnish each filled cup with a slice of avocado and pinch of minced cilantro.

Steps:
- Cook cilantro in a medium pot of boiling salted water until wilted, about 20 seconds. Drain and transfer cilantro to a bowl of ice water. Swish around in water to cool. Drain, then squeeze excess liquid from herbs with your hands.
- Purée cilantro, ginger, and 2 Tbsp. water in a blender until almost smooth. With motor running, gradually stream in oil and blend until smooth. Strain cilantro oil through a fine-mesh sieve into a small bowl; discard any solids. Mix lime juice into oil and season with salt.
- Do Ahead
- Cilantro oil (without lime juice and salt) can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Bring to room temperature before adding lime juice and salt.
- Fish and Assembly
- Process panko in a food processor until very finely ground (it will only take 45-60 seconds). Transfer to a shallow bowl. Place egg yolks in another shallow bowl and whisk in buttermilk. Place cornstarch in a third shallow bowl. Line a rimmed baking sheet with paper towels and set a wire rack inside.
- Working with 1 fillet at a time, season with kosher salt on both sides and dredge in cornstarch, shaking off excess. Dip in egg mixture, letting excess drip back into bowl, then coat in panko, pressing to adhere before shaking off excess. Repeat steps to make a second coating. Place on a rimmed baking sheet. Repeat with remaining fillets.
- Pour oil into a large heavy skillet, preferably cast iron, to come 1" up sides. Heat oil over medium-high until an instant-read thermometer registers 350°F-365°F (Don't let the tip of the thermometer touch the bottom of the skillet). Carefully lower a fillet along the side of skillet closest to you and let slide away from you into oil. Carefully swirl oil in skillet and cook fish just until golden on the bottom, about 2 minutes. Using a fish spatula or slotted spoon, carefully turn fish over and cook until golden on the other side, about 2 minutes. Transfer fish to wire rack in prepared baking sheet and season with sea salt while still hot. Repeat with remaining fillets.
- Toss cucumbers, fennel, onion, chile, cilantro oil, and a pinch of kosher salt in a medium bowl and top with some cilantro.
- Serve fish with cucumber ceviche and lime wedges.
TUNA CEVICHE IN RADICCHIO CUPS
I love ceviche of all kinds. It always reminds me of a most memorable trip to Peru, and Peruvians are the ceviche champions in my book. This dish has the perfect balance of tang, zing, texture, color and banging flavor. I like to drink the ceviche juice in the radicchio cup first and then bite into the radicchio with tuna, YUM.
