  • ½ cup Coconut Dressing (recipe follows)
  • 1 tablespoon diced red onion
  • 1 tablespoon diced jalapeño
  • 1 tablespoon thinly sliced green onion
  • 2 tablespoons Sweet Potato Puree (recipe follows)
  • Sliced radish, chili oil, and cilantro for garnish
  • For the Coconut Dressing:
  • 1 cup diced white onion
  • 1 cup sliced ginger
  • 1 jalapeño, sliced (with seeds)
  • Zest of 4 limes
  • ½ cup lime juice
  • 3 lime leaves, stemmed, chiffonade
  • ½ cup white cane vinegar (Mills uses Datu Puti brand)
  • 2½ tablespoons salt
  • 1 quart plus 1 cup coconut milk
  • For the Sweet Potato Puree:
  • 3-4 sweet large potatoes
  • 1 garlic clove, finely grated
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • 1½ teaspoons salt
  • 1½ teaspoons brown sugar
steps
  1. Prepare the Coconut Dressing: In bowl of a food processor, combine onion, ginger, jalapeño, lime zest, lime juice, lime leaves, vinegar, salt, and 1 quart of coconut milk. Puree just until the mixture is just chopped, not completely pureed. Transfer to a bowl and whisk in the remaining coconut milk. Let sit for 30 minutes, then strain through a fine-mesh strainer.
  2. Prepare the Sweet Potato Puree: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place potatoes on a baking sheet, prick with a fork, and roast until completely tender, about 1 hour. Let cool slightly, then peel skin from potatoes and add potatoes to the bowl of a food processor. Add garlic and puree until smooth. With machine running, drizzle coconut milk into mixture. Add salt and sugar and puree to combine. Transfer to a bowl and allow to cool completely.
  3. Make the Ceviche: In a medium bowl, combine snapper with Coconut Dressing, onion, jalapeño, and green onion. To serve, top each portion with a spoonful of Sweet Potato Puree and garnish with sliced radish, chili oil, and cilantro.
