Ceviche
Serving Size: 4
Ingredients
1 pound fresh, skinless bass, snapper, halibut, or other ocean fish cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 1/2 cups fresh lime juice
1 medium white onion, thinly sliced
1/3 cup chopped cilantro, plus a few leaves for garnish
1-2 Tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp salt or to taste
dash of Tabasco sauce or a light pinch of cayenne pepper
Instructions
Combine fish, lime juice, and onion in a shallow pyrex or ceramic casserole dish.
Use enough juice to cover the fish.
Cover and refrigerate for about 4 hours, until a cube of fish no longer looks raw. Note: While marinating, the fish will transition from pinkish grey and translucent to an opaque, whiter color.
Drain off the juice and place the fish mixture into a bowl.
Add the cilantro, olive oil, Tabasco or cayenne pepper, and salt.
Cover and refrigerate if not serving immediately.
Serve over sliced or halved, grilled avocados and garnish with cilantro.
