Ingredients

• 400 grams fresh sea bass fillet
• 120 milliliters lime juice
• 0.5 medium red onion
• 0.5 medium red bell pepper
• 1 small jalapeño
• 1 small cucumber
• 0.5 cup cilantro leaves
• 1 medium avocado
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Begin by slicing the fresh sea bass fillet into small, bite-sized cubes. Place the cubes in a non-reactive bowl.

Step 2

Pour the lime juice over the sea bass cubes, ensuring they are thoroughly submerged. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 30 minutes, allowing the acid in the lime juice to 'cook' the fish.

Step 3

While the fish is marinating, finely dice the red onion and red bell pepper. Seed and finely slice the jalapeño, and peel, seed, and dice the cucumber.

Step 4

Chop the cilantro leaves and add to a separate bowl with the diced red onion, red bell pepper, jalapeño, and cucumber. Mix well.

Step 5

After 30 minutes, remove the sea bass from the refrigerator. The fish should appear opaque and firm to the touch.

Step 6

Drain off any excess lime juice from the bowl of fish, then combine the marinated sea bass with the prepared vegetable mixture. Gently stir to mix all ingredients thoroughly.

Step 7

Halve the avocado, remove the pit, and dice the flesh. Incorporate it gently into the ceviche mixture.

Step 8

Season the ceviche with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste. Ensure everything is evenly mixed.

Step 9

Serve immediately in small bowls or on a platter as a refreshing and healthy appetizer or light meal, garnished with additional cilantro if desired.
