Kinilaw, a Filipino ceviche, brings a fresh twist to your dinner table. This easy meal prep option features Spanish mackerel marinated in vinegar and brightened with lemon juice, ginger, and a hint of chili. With only 6 grams of carbs per serving, this dish fits well into a low-carb or keto lifestyle. It's perfect for a light lunch or an appetizer when you have friends over for dinner.

Instructions

Wash the fish meat and tap dry with paper towels. Cut into 1-inch cubes.
Place the fish cubes in a bowl. Pour in the vinegar and the juice from lemon, or calamansi (if using). Season with salt and pepper. Add the ginger, onion, and chili. Toss gently until well blended.
Cover and marinate for 1-3 hours in the fridge. The fish should lose its translucent and pinkish color and should turn whiter and opaque. This indicates that the fish has “cooked”.
Transfer to a serving dish and eat immediately.
