Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound skinless, boneless firm white fish fillets (such as cod or halibut)
- 1 cup fresh lime juice
- 0.5 red onion, finely diced
- 2 Roma tomatoes, diced
- 1 jalapeño, seeded and finely chopped
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 avocado, diced
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 radishes, thinly sliced (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Rinse the fish fillets under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
Using a sharp knife, cut the fish into small, bite-sized cubes (about 1/2-inch pieces).
Place the fish in a large, non-reactive bowl glass or ceramic works best.
Pour the fresh lime juice over the fish, making sure it is completely submerged. This will allow the acidity of the lime juice to 'cook' the fish.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 15-20 minutes, until the fish turns opaque and firm.
While the fish is marinating, prepare the other ingredients: dice the red onion, Roma tomatoes, and jalapeño; chop the cilantro; and dice the avocado.
Once the fish is 'cooked', drain off most of the lime juice, leaving about 1-2 tablespoons of juice with the fish.
Add the red onion, tomatoes, jalapeño, and cilantro to the bowl with the fish. Gently fold to combine.
Season with sea salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste.
Carefully fold in the diced avocado, being mindful not to mash it.
Transfer the ceviche to a serving bowl or individual cups and garnish with thin slices of radishes, if using.
Serve immediately, enjoying the fresh and vibrant flavors.
