Other optional toppings: Wasabi/soy sauce/ginger/sesame seeds/additional hot pepper
Instructions
In a small ceramic or glass bowl, combine the salmon and tuna with the avocado oil and sesame oil, mix gently until the fish is coated with the oil – this will prevent it from oxidizing. Add the chives, ginger, hot pepper, and soy sauce. Mix well, cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or until ready to serve.
While the poke ceviche is marinating, prepare the patacones or tostones. They can be made the traditional way or you can form them into a round mini cup/bowl form to be filled with the ceviche. To shape them into a round cup shape, place the plantain chip after the first frying, into a lemon/citrus squeezer and gently press it, then remove it very gently, and fry it again as you would with the regular patacones.
Serve the salmon and tuna poke inspired ceviche on top of the plantain chips or inside the plantain cups. Top with a drizzle of lime juice, the pickled red onions, cilantro leaves, hot sauce to taste, and any other garnishes you prefer.
