Vibrant Ceviche Bowl with Fresh Microgreens

Wake your taste buds the hell up. This isn’t your average boring breakfast. It’s a high-protein, low-carb, gut-loving ceviche bowl, slamming your system with omega-3s, antioxidants, and chlorophyll-packed microgreens. Crisp, acidic, crunchy, and absolutely explosive with flavor — the perfect clean fuel to kickstart your day like a beast with a six-pack.

Ingredients (Serves 1-2)

For the Ceviche:

• 150g fresh white fish (snapper, sea bass, or mahi-mahi) – sushi-grade, thinly sliced
• Juice of 2 limes
• Juice of 1 calamansi (or half an orange for a sweet twist)
• 1 tsp grated ginger
• 1 small red onion, finely sliced
• 1 small red chili or jalapeño, thinly sliced (optional kick)
• Pinch of sea salt
• Crack of black pepper

Toppings & Garnish:

• 1 small handful of microgreens (sunflower, radish, arugula — whatever’s fresh and peppery)
• Edible flowers (nasturtiums or dianthus — for color and a mild peppery bite)
• Thin plantain or sweet potato chips (homemade or air-fried — adds crunch and healthy carbs)
• Zest of ½ lime

Instructions (Done in 10 minutes)

1. Slice like you mean it.
Thinly slice the fish — not chunks, delicate slices that melt in your mouth. If your knife isn’t razor sharp, don’t even bother.

2. Cure it, fast.
In a chilled bowl, toss the fish with lime and calamansi juice, grated ginger, and a pinch of sea salt. Let it sit for 5 minutes, no more — you want it cured, not rubber.

3. Layer up the fire.
Add the thinly sliced onions and chili. Mix gently — don’t break the fish. Season with cracked black pepper. Taste. Adjust. It should slap you with freshness and zing.

4. Plate it like a boss.
Use a deep bowl. Nest the ceviche at the base, layer in a few chips on the side like golden sails, top with a wild scatter of microgreens and edible flowers, and finish with a grating of lime zest.
