Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh white fish (such as sea bass, snapper, or halibut)
- 5 whole limes
- 1 medium red onion
- 2 medium roma tomatoes
- 1 whole jalapeño pepper
- 0.5 cup fresh cilantro leaves
- 1 large avocado
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Begin by thoroughly rinsing the fish under cold water and patting it dry with paper towels. Cut the fish into small, bite-sized cubes, about 1/2 inch in size, and set aside.
Step 2
Juice the limes into a large non-reactive glass or ceramic bowl. Ensure you have enough lime juice to completely cover the fish pieces. Add the fish cubes to the lime juice, stirring to ensure all pieces are submerged. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes, allowing the fish to 'cook' in the acidic juice.
Step 3
While the fish is marinating, finely slice the red onion, dice the roma tomatoes, and mince the jalapeño pepper, removing the seeds for less heat if desired.
Step 4
Chop the fresh cilantro leaves and set aside. Dice the avocado, saving it for assembly.
Step 5
After the fish has marinated and turned opaque, drain off excess lime juice, leaving a small amount to keep the fish moist and flavorful.
Step 6
In a large mixing bowl, combine the marinated fish, sliced onions, diced tomatoes, minced jalapeño, and chopped cilantro. Add olive oil, salt, and black pepper, gently stirring to mix everything well.
Step 7
Just before serving, gently fold in the diced avocado, being careful to maintain its shape.
Step 8
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve the ceviche chilled, on its own, or with tortilla chips or lettuce cups for a refreshing and light meal.
