Ingredients
- 1 lb fresh white fish fillet (such as snapper or sea bass), cut into cubes
- 1/2 cup fresh lime juice
- 1/4 cup fresh orange juice
- 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
- 1/2 cup chopped cilantro leaves
- 1 ripe avocado, diced
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/4 cup seeded and diced mango
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: Plantain chips for serving
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the fish cubes, lime juice, and orange juice. Gently toss to coat the fish evenly with the citrus juices. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for 20 minutes. After marinating, carefully drain off any excess liquid from the fish mixture. Add the red onion, cilantro, avocado, cherry tomatoes, and mango to the bowl. Gently mix until all ingredients are well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for an additional 10 minutes to allow flavors to meld together.
Chef’s Insight
The key to this dish is allowing the fish to marinate just enough to cook it gently, while still maintaining a tender texture.
