Method

Preparing the Fish

  1. 1

    Cut and Marinate the Fish

    Cut the fresh fish into small, bite-sized cubes (about 1/2 inch). Place the fish in a glass or ceramic bowl and pour the lime juice over the fish, ensuring all pieces are well covered. The acidity from the lime juice will 'cook' the fish. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30-45 minutes, until the fish turns opaque.

Preparing Vegetables

  1. 2

    Chop the Vegetables

    While the fish is marinating, finely chop the red onion, tomato, cucumber, and jalapeño pepper. Ensure the jalapeño is seeded and deveined if you prefer less heat. Place all the chopped vegetables in a separate bowl.

Combining Ingredients

  1. 3

    Mix the Ingredients

    After the fish has marinated and the color has changed, drain some of the excess lime juice (you can reserve it for serving). Add the chopped vegetables and finely chopped cilantro to the fish. Season with salt and black pepper, and gently toss everything together until evenly mixed.

Serving the Ceviche

  1. 4

    Serve and Enjoy

    Serve the ceviche chilled in small bowls, garnished with additional cilantro if desired. Accompany with tortilla chips or lettuce leaves for a refreshing bite.
