Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb fresh white fish (snapper, sea bass, or tilapia)
- 1 cup fresh lime juice
- 0.25 cup fresh lemon juice
- 0.5 red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 jalapeño, finely chopped and seeds removed
- 2 Roma tomatoes, diced
- 0.25 cup cilantro, chopped
- 1 avocado, diced
- 0.5 tsp ground black pepper
Instructions
Rinse the fish under cold water, then pat dry with paper towels. Cut the fish into small, uniform cubes, about 1/2 inch in size.
In a large glass or ceramic bowl, combine the lime juice and lemon juice.
Add the fish cubes to the citrus juice mixture, ensuring that all pieces are submerged. Gently stir with a spoon to coat the fish evenly.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 30 minutes to 1 hour, or until the fish appears opaque and is firm to the touch.
Once the fish is properly marinated, drain the fish from the citrus juices while retaining about 2 tablespoons of the juice in the bowl.
Add the sliced red onion, chopped jalapeño, diced tomatoes, and cilantro to the fish, and gently stir to combine.
Season the ceviche with ground black pepper, stirring once more to ensure even distribution of all ingredients.
Just before serving, fold in the diced avocado carefully to avoid mashing it.
Serve the ceviche in individual bowls or martini glasses for an elegant presentation. Optionally, you can serve it with tortilla chips or lettuce wraps.
