Ingredients

• 1 pound skinless, boneless firm white fish fillets (such as cod or halibut)
• 1 cup fresh lime juice
• 0.5 red onion, finely diced
• 2 Roma tomatoes, diced
• 1 jalapeño, seeded and finely chopped
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 avocado, diced
• 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 3 radishes, thinly sliced (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the fish fillets under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.

Step 2

Using a sharp knife, cut the fish into small, bite-sized cubes (about 1/2-inch pieces).

Step 3

Place the fish in a large, non-reactive bowl glass or ceramic works best.

Step 4

Pour the fresh lime juice over the fish, making sure it is completely submerged. This will allow the acidity of the lime juice to 'cook' the fish.

Step 5

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 15-20 minutes, until the fish turns opaque and firm.

Step 6

While the fish is marinating, prepare the other ingredients: dice the red onion, Roma tomatoes, and jalapeño; chop the cilantro; and dice the avocado.

Step 7

Once the fish is 'cooked', drain off most of the lime juice, leaving about 1-2 tablespoons of juice with the fish.

Step 8

Add the red onion, tomatoes, jalapeño, and cilantro to the bowl with the fish. Gently fold to combine.

Step 9

Season with sea salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste.

Step 10

Carefully fold in the diced avocado, being mindful not to mash it.

Step 11

Transfer the ceviche to a serving bowl or individual cups and garnish with thin slices of radishes, if using.

Step 12

Serve immediately, enjoying the fresh and vibrant flavors.
