Ingredients

• 500 grams fresh salmon filet
• 120 ml lime juice
• 60 ml lemon juice
• 60 ml orange juice
• 1 medium red onion
• 1 medium jalapeño pepper
• 30 grams fresh cilantro
• 1 medium avocado
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 100 grams cherry tomatoes

Directions

Step 1

Begin by finely cubing the fresh salmon filet into small, even pieces (around 1 cm each) and place them in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Avoid using metal containers as they can react with the citrus.

Step 2

Pour the lime juice, lemon juice, and orange juice over the salmon, ensuring that the fish is fully submerged in the liquid. Stir gently to coat the salmon evenly with the juices.

Step 3

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for at least 15 minutes. This will allow the citrus juices to 'cook' the salmon, changing it from translucent to opaque.

Step 4

While the salmon is marinating, finely slice the red onion and jalapeño pepper, removing the seeds from the jalapeño if you prefer a milder flavor.

Step 5

Chop the fresh cilantro finely and set it aside for later.

Step 6

Cut the avocado into small cubes and halve the cherry tomatoes.

Step 7

After 15 minutes, remove the salmon from the refrigerator and gently mix in the red onion, jalapeño, chopped cilantro, and cherry tomatoes.

Step 8

Season the mixture with salt and black pepper and drizzle with olive oil, mixing gently to combine.

Step 9

Just before serving, gently fold in the cubed avocado, being careful not to mash it.

Step 10

Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Serve the ceviche chilled, optionally garnished with additional cilantro leaves or slices of jalapeño.
