Ingredients

• 12 ounces fresh salmon fillet
• 1 cup fresh lime juice
• 0.5 cup red onion
• 1 whole jalapeño pepper
• 0.25 cup cilantro
• 1 cup cucumber
• 1 medium avocado
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Begin by ensuring the salmon fillet is deboned and skinned. Use a sharp knife to cut the salmon into small cubes, about 1/2 inch each.

Step 2

In a large glass bowl, combine the salmon cubes with the fresh lime juice. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for about 60 minutes. The acid in the lime juice will "cook" the salmon over this time.

Step 3

While the salmon marinates, prepare the vegetables. Finely dice the red onion and jalapeño pepper. Be sure to remove the seeds from the jalapeño if you prefer less heat.

Step 4

Chop the cilantro leaves roughly. Peel the cucumber, remove the seeds, and cut it into small cubes. Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, cube the flesh, and set aside.

Step 5

After the salmon has marinated, remove it from the refrigerator. Add the diced onion, jalapeño, chopped cilantro, cucumber, and avocado to the bowl with the salmon.

Step 6

Season the ceviche with salt and pepper, then gently mix everything together until well combined.

Step 7

Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Serve the ceviche chilled, either on its own or accompanied by low-carb tortilla chips or crisp lettuce leaves.
