Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a glass bowl, combine 1 lb fresh white fish (cut into 1/2-inch cubes), 1/2 cup fresh lime juice, and 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice. Gently mix and cover. Marinate in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes until fish turns opaque and firm (do not exceed 20 minutes).
  2. Step 2: While fish marinates, combine 1/4 cup diced red onion, 1/4 cup diced red bell pepper, 1/4 cup diced cucumber, 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, 1/4 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, 1/4 tsp ground cumin, and 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper in a medium bowl. Mix until vegetables are evenly coated.
  3. Step 3: Drain the fish from the citrus marinade (reserve for later) and add the fish to the vegetable mixture. Toss gently to combine.
  4. Step 4: Add 1 diced avocado and fold in until evenly distributed without mashing.
  5. Step 5: Taste and adjust seasoning with extra salt or lime juice if needed. Serve immediately in chilled bowls.
