Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh white fish (such as sea bass or sole), skinless and boneless
- 1 cup lime juice
- 0.5 cup lemon juice
- 0.5 cup red onion, finely chopped
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 medium jalapeño, seeds removed and finely chopped
- 1 large avocado, diced
- 1 medium tomato, diced
- 1 half cucumber, peeled, seeded, and diced
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Begin by cutting the white fish into small, bite-sized pieces and place them in a large glass bowl.
Pour the lime juice and lemon juice over the fish pieces, ensuring they are fully submerged in the citrus juices.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 45 minutes to 1 hour until the fish turns opaque and 'cooks' in the citrus juices.
While the fish is marinating, prepare the vegetables: finely chop the red onion, chop the cilantro, and dice the tomato, cucumber, and avocado.
Once the fish is ready, carefully drain the excess citrus juice from the bowl, while retaining the fish pieces.
Add the red onion, cilantro, jalapeño, tomato, cucumber, and avocado to the marinated fish.
Season the mixture with salt and black pepper, gently tossing everything together to combine flavors.
Serve the ceviche immediately chilled, optionally garnished with extra cilantro or lime wedges. Enjoy as a standalone entrée or as an appetizer with low-carb tortilla chips.
