Ingredients

  • 1 pound fresh fish fillets (such as tilapia, sea bass, or snapper), cut into small cubes
  • 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lime juice (about 4-6 limes)
  • 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 2 lemons)
  • 1 small red onion, finely chopped
  • 1-2 serrano chilies or jalapeños, finely chopped (adjust to taste)
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 avocado, diced (for garnish)
  • Cooked sweet potato, sliced (for garnish)
  • Cooked corn on the cob, sliced into rounds (for garnish)

Instructions

Marinate the Fish

Place the fish cubes in a large bowl.

Pour the lime juice and lemon juice over the fish, making sure it’s completely covered. The acidity of the citrus juices will "cook" the fish.

Cover the bowl and refrigerate for about 15-20 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and firm.

Prepare the Vegetables

In a separate bowl, combine the finely chopped red onion, serrano chilies (or jalapeños), diced tomatoes, and chopped fresh cilantro.

Season the mixture with ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

Combine and Serve

Drain the fish from the marinade, discarding the excess juice.

Gently fold the vegetable mixture into the marinated fish.

Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.

Garnish with diced avocado, cooked sweet potato slices, and corn rounds.

Enjoy your meal!
