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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
