Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh white fish (such as sea bass or tilapia)
- 1 cup lime juice
- 1 cup lemon juice
- 1 medium red onion
- 1 medium jalapeño
- 2 medium Roma tomatoes
- 0.5 cup cilantro
- 1 large avocado
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Directions
Step 1
1. Start by cutting the fresh white fish into small, bite-sized cubes and place them in a shallow glass or ceramic dish.
Step 2
2. Pour the lime juice and lemon juice over the fish, ensuring that all the pieces are thoroughly covered. The citrus juices will 'cook' the fish by the acid.
Step 3
3. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 20 minutes, allowing the fish to marinate and turn opaque.
Step 4
4. While the fish is marinating, finely chop the red onion, deseed and mince the jalapeño, and dice the Roma tomatoes.
Step 5
5. Chop the cilantro and cube the avocado, setting these aside for final assembly.
Step 6
6. After marinating, remove the fish from the refrigerator. Gently stir in the chopped red onion, jalapeño, tomatoes, cilantro, and avocado.
Step 7
7. Season the ceviche with salt and black pepper to taste, and gently fold in the extra virgin olive oil for added richness.
Step 8
8. Serve immediately in small bowls or glasses, and enjoy this fresh and healthy Paleo dish as a starter or light meal.
