Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Corvina (fresh white fish), cubed
- 200 ml Fresh lime juice
- 50 ml Fresh lemon juice
- 1 large Red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 medium Tomato, diced
- 10 grams Cilantro, finely chopped
- 1 small Jalapeño or chili pepper, finely chopped (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 medium Avocado, sliced (optional, for garnish)
- 200 grams Tortilla chips or plantain chips (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Start by preparing the Corvina: ensure the fish is fresh and properly cleaned. Use a sharp knife to cut it into small, even 1 cm cubes.
In a large glass or ceramic bowl (avoid metal to prevent reactions with the citrus), combine the cubed Corvina with the fresh lime juice and lemon juice. Ensure the fish is fully submerged in the juice.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish turns opaque. This process 'cooks' the fish in the acid from the citrus juices.
While the fish is marinating, prepare the vegetables and herbs: thinly slice the red onion, dice the tomato, finely chop the cilantro, and, if using, mince the jalapeño or chili pepper.
Once the fish is ready, remove it from the fridge and drain the excess liquid, leaving a small amount of marinade to enhance the flavor.
Add the prepared red onion, tomato, cilantro, jalapeño (if using), salt, and black pepper to the fish. Gently mix to combine all the ingredients evenly.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or lime juice as needed.
Serve immediately in cups or bowls, garnished with avocado slices if desired. Pair with crunchy tortilla chips or plantain chips for an added texture contrast.
