Ingredients

• 500 grams sea bass fillet
• 120 milliliters fresh lime juice
• 1 medium, finely chopped red onion
• 2 medium, diced tomato
• 1 large, diced avocado
• 1 medium, diced cucumber
• 30 grams, chopped fresh cilantro
• 1 small, seeded and finely chopped jalapeño
• 5 grams salt
• 2 grams black pepper
• 15 milliliters extra virgin olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the sea bass: make sure the fillet is skinless, and then cut it into small 1/2 inch cubes. Place the cubes into a non-reactive bowl, like glass or ceramic.

Step 2

Pour the fresh lime juice over the sea bass pieces, ensuring they are completely submerged. The acidity of the lime juice will 'cook' the fish. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes until the fish turns opaque and firm.

Step 3

While the fish is marinating, prepare the rest of your ingredients: finely chop the red onion, dice the tomatoes, avocado, and cucumber, and chop the cilantro. Also, finely chop the jalapeño, ensuring it's seeded to reduce heat, unless you prefer a spicier dish.

Step 4

Once the sea bass has marinated, remove it from the refrigerator. Drain off some of the excess lime juice if it seems too much, but leave enough to keep the fish moist and flavorful.

Step 5

In a large bowl, gently combine the marinated sea bass, red onion, tomatoes, avocado, cucumber, cilantro, and jalapeño.

Step 6

Season the ceviche with salt and black pepper according to your taste.

Step 7

Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil over the ceviche and gently toss everything together to coat.

Step 8

Taste again for seasoning, adjusting salt and pepper if needed.

Step 9

Serve immediately in individual bowls or glasses, garnished with extra cilantro if desired. Enjoy your high protein, refreshing Sea Bass Ceviche as a light meal or appetizer!
