1
Prepare the Fish
Cut the fresh white fish into small, bite-sized cubes (about 1/2 inch).
2
Marinate the Fish
In a glass or ceramic bowl, combine the fish cubes with lime juice and salt. Ensure the fish is fully submerged in the juice. Cover and refrigerate for about 30 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and 'cooked' by the acid.

3
Chop the Vegetables
Finely dice the red onion, jalapeño (if using), and tomato. Chop the cilantro roughly.
4
Combine Vegetables
After the fish has marinated, drain some of the excess lime juice. Add the diced red onion, jalapeño, tomato, and cilantro to the fish. Mix gently to combine.

5
Prepare for Serving
Serve the ceviche in small bowls or on a platter with tortilla chips on the side.
6
Garnish
Slice the avocado and arrange it on top of the ceviche or serve it alongside.
