Ingredients
-
1 lb fresh rockfish fillets, skin removed, finely diced
-
1 cup freshly squeezed lime juice (about 6-8 limes)
-
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
-
1 cup diced tomato
-
1 cucumber, peeled and diced
-
1 avocado, diced
-
1-2 serrano or jalapeño peppers, minced (optional)
-
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
-
Salt and pepper to taste
-
Lime wedges (for serving)
-
Plantain or tortilla chips (for serving)
Instructions
-
Marinate the Fish: Place diced rockfish in a non-reactive bowl and cover with lime juice. Refrigerate for 30–45 minutes until opaque and “cooked.”
-
Drain & Mix: Drain about half the lime juice. Add red onion, tomato, cucumber, avocado, cilantro, and chiles (if using). Gently toss to combine.
-
Season: Add salt and pepper to taste. Adjust lime juice or seasoning as needed.
-
Chill & Serve: Let ceviche chill another 10 minutes for best flavor. Serve cold with lime wedges and crispy plantain or tortilla chips.
Notes
For best results, use ultra-fresh rockfish or a similar firm white fish. Always use freshly squeezed lime juice. Customize heat level with chiles or skip for a milder flavor.
