Servings: 4
Calories: 172kcal
Ingredients
- 2 ears fresh corn shucked
- ⅓ cup red onion diced
- 1 jalapeño minced (seeds removed for less heat)
- 1 cup fresh tomatoes diced
- ¾ cup fresh lime juice from about 5 medium limes
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- 1 pound skinless white fish fillets such as snapper, mahi mahi, barramundi, sea bass or halibut
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro minced
- Plantain chips or tortilla chips for serving
Instructions
- Bring a medium pot of water up to a boil, then gently drop in the corn. Cook for about 3 minutes, then remove and allow to cool completely.
- Once cool, use a knife to remove the kernels from the cob, then place them in a large mixing bowl.
- Add the red onion, jalapeño, tomatoes, lime juice and salt, then mix to combine.
- Blot the fish fillets with paper towels to absorb any excess moisture. Use a very sharp knife to carefully remove the bloodline or any impurities.
- Thinly slice the fish crosswise, against the grain, then add to the bowl along with the cilantro, then toss to combine, then serve immediately with plantain chips or tortilla chips for scooping.
- As the fish marinates, it will develop more of a “cooked” texture, and will begin to deteriorate after a few hours. It’s best served within 30 minutes of preparing.
Notes
- Very cold or partially frozen fish is easier to slice than fully defrosted, so plan accordingly.
- Use a sharp knife to slice the fish into small pieces for better texture.
- Keep all ingredients very cold for the best fish ceviche recipe.
- Always taste and adjust the ingredient amounts accordingly with extra salt or citrus.
