Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh white fish (such as sea bass or tilapia)
- 1 cup lime juice
- 1 cup lemon juice
- 1 medium red onion
- 1 medium jalapeño
- 2 medium Roma tomatoes
- 0.5 cup cilantro
- 1 large avocado
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
1. Start by cutting the fresh white fish into small, bite-sized cubes and place them in a shallow glass or ceramic dish.
2. Pour the lime juice and lemon juice over the fish, ensuring that all the pieces are thoroughly covered. The citrus juices will 'cook' the fish by the acid.
3. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 20 minutes, allowing the fish to marinate and turn opaque.
4. While the fish is marinating, finely chop the red onion, deseed and mince the jalapeño, and dice the Roma tomatoes.
5. Chop the cilantro and cube the avocado, setting these aside for final assembly.
6. After marinating, remove the fish from the refrigerator. Gently stir in the chopped red onion, jalapeño, tomatoes, cilantro, and avocado.
7. Season the ceviche with salt and black pepper to taste, and gently fold in the extra virgin olive oil for added richness.
8. Serve immediately in small bowls or glasses, and enjoy this fresh and healthy Paleo dish as a starter or light meal.
