Watermelon and Scallop Ceviche
Ingredients
- 2 medium-size navel oranges
- 1 pound bay scallops, patted dry
- 1 teaspoon lime zest, plus 1/2 cup fresh lime juice (from 8 small limes)
- 3 cups (about 1 lb.) diced seeded watermelon (about 1/3-in. dice)
- 1 cup shaved fennel (about 3 oz.)
- 2 tablespoons minced seeded jalapeño
- 1 tablespoon raw honey
- 1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup packed fresh mint leaves
Preparation
1. Trim off ends of oranges; set oranges, cut side down, on a cutting board. Following the curve of the fruit, cut off peel and white pith. Working over a medium bowl, slice orange segments from membranes; cover and refrigerate. Squeeze juice from membranes into a separate medium bowl to equal 3/4 cup; discard membranes. Add scallops and 6 tablespoons of the lime juice to bowl with orange juice. Cover and refrigerate until scallops are opaque, about 45 minutes.
2. Drain scallop mixture; discard liquid. Place scallops in a clean bowl. Stir in orange segments, watermelon, fennel, jalapeño, honey, salt, lime zest, and remaining 2 tablespoons lime juice. Drizzle with oil and top with mint. Serve with a slotted spoon.
