Ingredients

• 1 pound fresh white fish fillets (like tilapia or sea bass)
• 6 whole limes
• 0.5 medium red onion
• 1 whole jalapeño pepper
• 1 whole ripe avocado
• 0.5 cup fresh cilantro
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 0.5 cup cherry tomatoes

Directions

Step 1

Begin by cutting the fish fillets into small, bite-sized cubes, approximately 1/2 inch in size. Ensure all pieces are relatively uniform for even curing.

Step 2

Juice the limes into a large glass or ceramic bowl, ensuring you have about 1 cup of lime juice. Add the fish cubes to the lime juice, gently stirring to coat all pieces. The acidity in the lime juice will cook the fish.

Step 3

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 15 to 20 minutes. Look for the fish to turn opaque as it cures.

Step 4

While the fish is curing, finely dice the red onion and jalapeño pepper. For a milder flavor, remove the seeds from the jalapeño.

Step 5

Cut the cherry tomatoes into quarters, dice the avocado into small cubes, and coarsely chop the cilantro.

Step 6

Once the fish is ready, drain off about half of the lime juice. Add the diced onion, jalapeño, cherry tomatoes, avocado, and chopped cilantro to the fish.

Step 7

Gently mix to combine, being careful not to mash the avocado pieces.

Step 8

Season the ceviche mixture with sea salt and black pepper. Drizzle with olive oil, and toss lightly to coat.

Step 9

Serve immediately, garnished with additional cilantro leaves if desired. For a complete keto experience, accompany with fresh lettuce leaves or simply enjoy it on its own.
