  • Peel and grate the ginger. Finely chop the red pepper. Mix the lemon zest with the juice and ginger. Drizzle the fish with the lemon marinade. Marinate for 10-15 minutes; The fish will ‘cook’ and turn white.
  • Cut the bell peppers into strips and toss with the olive oil. Grill the bell peppers on the BBQ or in the grill pan for 5 minutes until soft and tender. In the meantime, cut the tomatoes and strawberries into matchsticks (julienne). Finely chop the coriander.
  • Fry the tomatoes and coriander for 1 minute. Season with the fresh strawberries, wine vinegar, salt and pepper. Let the salad cool to lukewarm or room temperature.
  • Prepare the Hash Browns according to the instructions on the packaging.
  • Place the Hash Browns on 4 plates. Divide the bell pepper strawberry salad on top. Place the ceviche on top of the salad. Sprinkle with a little of the marinade, garnish with some edible flowers.

Variation tip: Prepare the ceviche and salad so that only the Hash Browns needs to be prepared before serving.
