Ceviche Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Fish

    Cut the fresh white fish into small, bite-sized pieces. Place them in a bowl.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Fish

    Pour the lime juice over the fish pieces, ensuring they are fully submerged. Let it marinate for about 15-20 minutes until the fish turns opaque.

    Finely chop the red onion and cilantro. Once the fish is marinated, add the chopped onion and cilantro to the bowl.

    Season the mixture with salt and black pepper according to your taste preferences.

    Optional Avocado

    If desired, dice the avocado and gently fold it into the ceviche just before serving.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Spoon the ceviche into serving bowls and sprinkle with pepitas for added crunch.
