Servings: 6
Calories: 158kcal
Ingredients
- 10-12 limes
- 12-16 ounces Mahi Mahi or other firm white fish
- 1 ½ teaspoon Kosher salt
- 4 Roma tomatoes seeds and pulp removed, and diced
- 4 large jalapenos deseeded and diced
- ¾ cup diced red or white onion
- ⅓ cup finely chopped cilantro
- 1 avocado, diced (optional)
- Tortilla chips or Saltine crackers for serving
Instructions
- Juice the limes into a measuring pitcher. You will need 1 cup total. Set aside until ready to use.
- On a clean, dry work surface, using a clean, sharp knife, cut the fish into small, bite-sized pieces, just under a ½" dice. Transfer it to a large mixing bowl, sprinkle with the salt, and toss to combine. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate while you prepare the vegetables.
- Add the vegetables, cilantro, and lime juice to the bowl with the fish, and stir until evenly mixed. Then, cover and refrigerate for 30-45 minutes, stirring about every 15 minutes or so, or until the fish is opaque to your liking and "cooked" to your preference. The longer you leave your fish in the lime juice, the more opaque the center will be.
- Add the avocado (if using) and stir until evenly mixed in. Serve the ceviche chilled with good, hearty tortilla chips, and enjoy!
