Ceviche Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Fish

    Cut the halibut fillets into small bite-sized pieces and place them in a glass or ceramic bowl.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Fish

    Pour the lime and lemon juice over the halibut pieces, ensuring they are fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for about 2 hours, or until the fish is opaque and has 'cooked' through the citrus juices.

  3. 3

    Mix in Vegetables

    After marinating, drain off some of the citrus juice, leaving just enough to keep the fish moist. Add diced red onion, diced tomato, chopped cilantro, sliced avocado, and chopped chiles. Gently mix until well combined.

  4. 4

    Season

    Season the ceviche with salt and black pepper to taste. Adjust seasoning as needed.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the ceviche immediately, garnished with extra cilantro and lime wedges if desired.
