Ingredients
4 Lake Superior Whitefish fillets (6 ounces each)
5 caper berries or 1/2 cup of capers
2 medium eggs
2 cups canola oil
1/4 fresh lemon
1 teaspoon white wine (optional)
Salt and pepper to taste
Preparing the Aioli
Put 2 eggs and caper berries (or capers) into food processor. Spin until capers are chopped.
Drizzle oil in slowly while processor is moving, and it will start to have the consistency of mayonnaise. If it separates, remove from processor, add 2 more eggs and SLOWLY add mixture back in until it thickens.
Squeeze fresh lemon juice into aioli while processor is spinning. Add white wine to mixture.
Add salt and pepper to taste.
Preparing the Whitefish
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Place fillets on baking pan and bake 12 minutes or until almost done. Fish should separate easily when touched.
Take fish out, and spread aioli on fillets in a thick layer.
Place under broiler until a light golden brown color, about 2 minutes.
Note: Serve with your favorite roasted potatoes and seasonal vegetables.

* 2 pounds Lake Superior Whitefish fillet
* 1 pound limes
* 1 purple onion
* 3 peeled garlic cloves
* 1 medium red pepper
* 100 grams of coriander
* 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
* Salt and pepper to taste
1. Wash and dry the fish. Cut into cubes of approximately 1 inch. Remove any remaining skin, scales or spines. It is important that you only have cubes of lean meat similar in size. Put the fish to the side.
2. Wash the limes. Squeeze them into a large bowl. Strain the juice to remove any seeds. This lime juice will serve to cook the fish by the marination process. Put the fish cubes into the juice marinade, press garlic cloves in the garlic press and add to the lime juice. Make sure that all the flesh is covered by the juice. Cover the container and store in the fridge for about 2 hours. From time to time check that the fish is “cooking” and turn gently so that each piece gets plenty of contact with the lime juice
3. Wash the red pepper and onion. Open the peppers, remove the seeds and veins and cut into small squares. Peel the onion and cut it into thin strips. Finely cut the coriander.
4. Remove the ceviche from the refrigerator – the meat should already look cooked (the flesh should be opaque and about to fall apart). Add onion, chili and coriander, ginger, a pinch of salt and pepper and stir. Cover the ceviche again and leave it in the fridge for about 10 more minutes.
5. Remove the ceviche from the refrigerator and place in cups or small plates and enjoy!
