Begin by ensuring the bass fillet is extremely fresh. Rinse it under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Trim any bones or skin, then slice into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick.
Arrange the bass slices on a chilled serving plate in a single layer. This ensures they marinate evenly.
In a small bowl, combine the lemon juice, lime juice, and extra-virgin olive oil. Whisk together to create a citrus dressing.
Pour the citrus dressing evenly over the bass slices, making sure each piece is well-coated. Let it marinate while you prepare the remaining ingredients.
Halve the avocado, remove the pit, and carefully scoop out the flesh. Cut the avocado into small cubes and distribute them over the fish.
Thinly slice the radishes and spread them over the top, adding a refreshing crunch.
Finely chop the fresh cilantro leaves and sprinkle them over the dish.
Season the dish lightly with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Grate the orange zest directly over the crudo to impart a subtle, aromatic citrus note.
Optional: Thinly slice half a small serrano chili and sprinkle it over the dish for a hint of spice.
Serve immediately as a light appetizer. Enjoy your heart-healthy bass crudo!
