I absolutely love this recipe, but have a couple of variations that i like to use. Instead of just lemon or lime i like to use even amounts of both, this gives the added acidity of the lemon, and the subtle flavour of the lime. I prefer to "cook" the fish in the lemon/lime mix for a minimal amount of time, normally around 20mins, but maximum of an hour, before draining 3/4 of the juice and adding the coconut milk. Instead of onion i like to use thinly sliced spring onion, i also like to add diced yellow capsicum to the seeded tomatoes and cucumber. Depending on my mood i sometimes use the lite coconut milk, because the full fat stuff is really high in saturated fats, nicer, but really bad for you.

Yum! This is my favourite way of having marinated fish. I like to add some grated lemon rind in as well. Thanks for sharing :)
