Instructions

  1. Step 1: Cut 12 oz tilapia fillets into 1/2-inch cubes and place in a bowl. Add 3 tbsp fresh lime juice, 1/4 cup finely diced red onion, and 1/2 minced red chili. Toss to coat evenly, then refrigerate for 20 minutes until the fish turns opaque and firm.
  2. Step 2: Gently fold in 1/2 cup diced mango, 1/2 cup diced cucumber, and 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro. Stir gently to combine without breaking the fish cubes.
  3. Step 3: Taste and adjust lime juice if needed. Chill for 10 more minutes to let flavors meld before serving chilled in small bowls.
