Tomato Ceviche

  1. 1

    Prepare Tomatoes

    Dice the tomatoes into small cubes and place them in a bowl.

    Finely chop the red onion and cilantro, then add them to the bowl with the tomatoes.

  3. 3

    Season the Mixture

    Pour the lime juice over the mixture and sprinkle with salt. If you like heat, finely chop the jalapeño and add it in.

  4. 4

    Mix and Marinate

    Gently toss all the ingredients together and let it sit for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

    Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper.

    Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the fish fillets and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side or until cooked through and flaky.

    Toast Brioche Buns

    While the fish is cooking, slice the brioche buns in half and toast them lightly in a separate pan or toaster.

  4. 11
