Ingredients
- 1 lb (450g), cubed 1/2 inch fresh white fish
- 1/2 cup (120ml) lime juice
- 1/4 cup finely diced red onion
- 1 cup diced mango
- 1/4 cup diced red bell pepper
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
- 1, sliced avocado
- 1/2 tsp minced jalapeño
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Step 1: In a large glass bowl, combine cubed fish, lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Gently toss to coat all pieces, then cover and refrigerate for 20 minutes to 'cook' the fish without heat.
- Step 2: While fish marinates, mix diced red onion, mango, red bell pepper, cilantro, and minced jalapeño in a separate bowl. Stir to combine evenly.
- Step 3: After 20 minutes, gently fold the mango mixture into the lime-marinated fish. Stir carefully to avoid breaking the fish cubes.
- Step 4: Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or lime juice if needed. Cover and refrigerate for 15 minutes to meld flavors.
- Step 5: Transfer ceviche to a serving platter, arranging avocado slices artfully on top. Serve immediately chilled with tostadas or plantain chips.
