Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh sea bass fillets
- 1 cup lime juice
- 0.5 cup lemon juice
- 0.25 cup orange juice
- 1 medium red onion
- 2 plum tomatoes
- 1 jalapeño
- 1 medium avocado
- 0.5 cup cilantro leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon pepper
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Instructions
Start by preparing the sea bass: remove any skin and bones and slice the fish into small, bite-sized cubes (about 1/2-inch in size).
In a non-reactive bowl (glass or stainless steel), combine the sea bass cubes with lime juice, lemon juice, and orange juice. Ensure the liquid fully covers the fish.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours, or until the fish turns opaque and is 'cooked' by the citrus juice.
While the fish is marinating, finely slice the red onion, dice the plum tomatoes and jalapeño (remove seeds for less heat), and chop the avocado into small cubes.
Roughly chop the cilantro leaves, discarding thick stems, and set aside.
Once the fish has marinated and is ready, drain the excess citrus juices into a separate bowl, leaving just a little moisture with the fish (about 2 tablespoons).
Add the red onion, tomatoes, jalapeño, avocado, and cilantro to the fish. Season with salt and pepper, and gently mix everything together.
Drizzle the olive oil over the ceviche, then toss gently to combine the ingredients without mashing the avocado.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt, pepper, or lime juice if necessary.
Serve chilled immediately, perhaps with plantain chips or on a bed of fresh lettuce leaves for a fully paleo experience.
