Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Sea bass fillet, fresh
- 0.5 cup Lime juice, freshly squeezed
- 0.25 cup Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 0.5 cup Red onion, finely chopped
- 1 medium Tomato, diced
- 1 small Cucumber, peeled, and diced
- 1 medium Jalapeño, minced
- 0.25 cup Cilantro, fresh, chopped
- 1 medium Avocado, diced
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
Instructions
Start by preparing the sea bass fillet: ensure it is fresh and completely deboned. Use a sharp knife to chop the sea bass into 1/2 inch cubes.
In a glass or ceramic bowl, combine the sea bass cubes with the freshly squeezed lime and lemon juice. Make sure the fish is completely submerged.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. The acidity from the citrus juices will cure (cook) the fish.
While the fish is marinating, prepare the vegetables: finely chop the red onion, dice the tomato (removing seeds if desired), peel and dice the cucumber, and mince the jalapeño (remove seeds for less heat).
Once the sea bass has cured in the citrus juices for 30 minutes, remove the bowl from the refrigerator.
Add the chopped onion, tomato, cucumber, jalapeño, and cilantro to the fish mixture. Stir gently to combine all ingredients thoroughly.
Season the ceviche with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste, adjusting to your preference.
Before serving, carefully fold in the diced avocado, ensuring it holds its shape.
Serve the ceviche chilled in bowls or shallow dishes, optionally garnished with extra cilantro leaves. Enjoy this refreshing, Whole30-compliant dish!
