Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh white fish (such as sea bass or snapper), diced
- 240 milliliters fresh lime juice
- 1 medium red onion, finely sliced
- 1 medium jalapeño, seeded and minced
- 50 grams fresh cilantro, chopped
- 200 grams cherry tomatoes, quartered
- 1 medium cucumber, peeled, seeded, and diced
- 1 large avocado, diced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper, ground
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Instructions
In a large non-reactive bowl, combine the diced fish and lime juice, ensuring the fish is fully covered by the juice.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the fish is opaque and 'cooked' by the acidity of the lime juice.
While the fish is marinating, prepare the vegetables. Finely slice the red onion, seed and mince the jalapeño, chop the cilantro, quarter the cherry tomatoes, peel and dice the cucumber, and dice the avocado.
Once the fish is ready, drain excess lime juice, leaving just a small amount to keep the mixture moist.
Add the sliced onion, minced jalapeño, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, avocado, and chopped cilantro to the bowl with the fish.
Season with salt and ground black pepper, then drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil.
Gently toss everything together, ensuring the ingredients are well combined and the fish is evenly dressed.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, lime juice, or jalapeño for extra heat, according to your preference.
Serve the ceviche immediately, garnished with additional cilantro, if desired, and enjoy with tortilla chips or as a standalone dish.
