Citrus Ceviche

Citrus Ceviche

  • 1 lb raw firm white fish – Examples: tilapia (cod, haddock, etc.)
  • 1/2 cup lime juice
  • 1/2 cup lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup sweet onion (finely diced)
  • 1/2 cup Roma tomatoes (finely diced)
  • 1 jalapeno pepper (seeds removed, minced)
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1 tsp dried oregano flakes
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 ripe avocado (diced)
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  1. Cut the raw fish up into small (1/2 inch) cubes and put in a large glass bowl or baking dish.
  2. Add to the fish the next 8 ingredients; toss gently to combine, then cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 4 to 6 hours.
  3. Remove and add the olive oil, avocado, and cilantro; toss and serve immediately with crackers, tortilla chips, on greens, or as a condiment or side dish.
  4. The citrus ‘cooks’ the fish, similar to pickling but without a vinegar taste, so you are not actually eating raw fish.
