Ceviche is a beloved dish in many coastal cuisines, known for its fresh and vibrant flavours. The Spicy Diablo Fish Ceviche takes this classic dish to the next level with an extra kick of heat that will tantalize your taste buds. Originating from the coastal regions of Latin America, ceviche traditionally involves marinating fresh fish in citrus juices, such as lime or lemon. Our Spicy Diablo version incorporates additional spices and chili peppers to create a bold and exciting flavour profile.

Instructions

Prepare the fish

Dice the fresh white fish fillet into small cubes and set aside in a glass or ceramic bowl.

Pro tip: Use the freshest fish available for best results.

Marinate the fish

Pour the fresh lime juice over the diced fish, ensuring it is fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Pro tip: The acidity of the lime juice will 'cook' the fish.

Prepare the vegetables

While the fish is marinating, finely chop the red onion, jalapeño peppers, and garlic. Dice the tomato and chop the cilantro.

Combine ingredients

After 30 minutes, drain excess lime juice from the fish. Add the chopped vegetables, chili powder, salt, and pepper to the fish. Mix well and check that the internal temperature of the fish has reached 145°F / 63°C by probing the thickest piece. The fish should appear opaque and flake easily.

Pro tip: Adjust seasoning to taste.

Chill the ceviche

Return the ceviche to the refrigerator for an additional 10 minutes to allow the flavours to meld.

Pro tip: Serve immediately after chilling for the best texture.

Garnish and serve

Before serving, garnish with fresh cilantro. Serve with tortilla chips or on a bed of lettuce.

Pro tip: Add avocado slices for extra creaminess.
