Ingredients

  • 1 lb sushi-grade white fish (halibut, flounder, or snapper), skinless
  • 4 whole limes (juiced)
  • 1 whole jalapeño, thinly sliced
  • ½ whole red onion, thinly sliced
  • ⅓ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 whole avocado, sliced (optional garnish)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Slice fish against the grain into thin strips, about 1/8 inch thick, and place in a shallow bowl.

  2. 2

    Pour lime juice over fish. Toss gently to coat all pieces evenly.

    Let fish sit in lime juice 5–8 minutes. The fish should turn opaque and slightly firm.

    Add sliced jalapeño, red onion, cilantro, and salt. Gently toss.

  5. 5

    Drizzle olive oil over the top and stir once more to combine.

  6. 6

    Divide among bowls. Top with avocado slices if desired. Serve immediately.
