Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh white fish (such as snapper, cod, or halibut)
- 240 milliliters lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 120 milliliters lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 red onion (finely diced)
- 1 tomato (deseeded and finely diced)
- 3 tablespoons fresh cilantro (chopped)
- 1 jalapeño (finely diced, seeded for less heat if desired)
- 1 avocado (diced, optional)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon pepper
- 100 grams tortilla chips (for serving, optional)
Instructions
Cut the fresh white fish into small, bite-sized cubes (about 1/2-inch pieces).
Place the fish cubes in a glass or non-reactive bowl.
Pour the lime juice and lemon juice over the fish, ensuring all pieces are fully submerged. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 20-30 minutes, or until the fish turns opaque (indicating it is 'cooked' by the acidity of the citrus).
While the fish marinates, prepare the other ingredients. Finely dice the red onion, deseed and dice the tomato, chop the cilantro, and finely dice the jalapeño.
Once the fish is ready, drain off most of the citrus juice, leaving a small amount for flavor.
Add the diced red onion, tomato, chopped cilantro, jalapeño, salt, and pepper to the marinated fish. Gently toss to combine.
If using avocado, carefully fold it into the mixture to avoid mashing it.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more salt or pepper if desired.
Serve immediately with tortilla chips or enjoy on its own as a light and refreshing appetizer or entree.
