Start by preparing the salmon. Ensure it's skinless and pin bones are removed. Cut the salmon into small, 1/2-inch cubes.
Place the salmon cubes in a large glass or ceramic mixing bowl. Add the freshly squeezed lime and lemon juices. Gently toss to coat all the salmon pieces evenly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 20-30 minutes, allowing the acid from the citrus to 'cook' the fish.
While the salmon is marinating, prepare the vegetables. Dice the red onion, peel and dice the cucumber, seed and finely chop the jalapeño, thinly slice the radishes, and quarter the cherry tomatoes. Chop the cilantro and cube the avocado.
After the salmon has marinated, remove it from the refrigerator. It should be opaque, indicating it's 'cooked' through.
Add the red onion, cucumber, jalapeño, radishes, cherry tomatoes, cilantro, and avocado to the salmon. Season with salt and black pepper.
Gently toss all the ingredients together until well mixed and taste for seasoning, adjusting with additional salt or lime juice if necessary.
Serve the ceviche in small individual dishes or one large serving bowl. It can be served as is or with optional compliant plantain chips for added crunch.
