Ingredients

Scale

Ceviche:

  • 3/4 lb Chilean sea bass
  • 3 limes (2 for marinating, 1 for topping)
  • Sea salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste
  • 1 mango, diced
  • 2 tbsp red onion, finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp jalapeño or another spicy pepper, finely chopped
  • Handful of cilantro, chopped
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Tajin for topping

Homemade Chips:

  • 6 tortillas, cut into triangles
  • Frying oil of choice
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1 tsp pepper
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder

Instructions

  1. Prepare the fish: Cut the sea bass into small, bite-sized cubes. Place in a bowl and squeeze the juice of 2 limes over the fish. Season with sea salt and pepper. Let marinate in the refrigerator for 15–20 minutes until the fish is opaque.
  2. Combine ceviche ingredients: Add diced mango, red onion, jalapeño, and chopped cilantro to the marinated fish. Drizzle with olive oil and gently toss to combine.
  3. Prepare homemade chips: Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry tortilla triangles in batches until golden and crispy. Drain on paper towels and season immediately with sea salt, pepper, paprika, and chili powder.
  4. Assemble and serve: Squeeze the remaining lime over the ceviche and sprinkle with Tajin. Serve immediately with homemade tortilla chips on the side.

Notes

  • Ensure the fish is very fresh and sashimi-grade for safe consumption in ceviche.
  • Adjust the level of jalapeño according to desired spiciness.
  • Ceviche is best served immediately but can be kept refrigerated for up to 2 hours.
  • Optional: Add diced avocado for extra creaminess.
