Ceviche with Avocado, Tomato, and Cilantro image

Marinating fish in citrus adds vibrant flavor, and the juice's acid turns the flesh opaque and firms up its texture, so it looks cooked. Combined with bright aromatics, this dish is cool, light, and simple to make.

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 cups fresh lime juice (from 10 limes)
1/2 cup fresh orange juice (from 1 orange)
1 1/4 pounds red snapper fillet, skin removed, flesh cut into 1/4-inch slices
1 avocado, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 cup grape tomatoes, halved
1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
1 small jalapeno, seeded and finely chopped
2 tablespoons roughly chopped fresh cilantro leaves
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Coarse salt and ground pepper
Lime wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Pour lime juice and orange juice through a sieve set over an 8-inch square glass baking dish. Arrange red snapper fillet in a single layer in dish (fish should be completely covered by juice). Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until fish is opaque throughout, about 4 hours. Drain fish well; discard marinade.
  • Divide fish among four plates. In a large bowl, combine avocado, tomatoes, jalapeno, cilantro, and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Serve fish topped with avocado salad and lime wedges alongside.
