Ceviche de Lenguado

Ceviche de Lenguado is a refreshing Mexican seafood dish that highlights the delicate flavors of sole fish, marinated in zesty lime juice and mixed with vibrant vegetables. This low-carb dish is perfect for a light meal or appetizer, bursting with freshness and nutrition.

Ingredients

• Sole fish fillets - 200 grams
• Fresh lime juice - 4 tablespoons
• Red onion - 1/4, finely chopped
• Tomato - 1 medium, diced
• Cucumber - 1/2 medium, diced
• Fresh cilantro - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Jalapeño pepper - 1 teaspoon, finely chopped
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Avocado - 1/2, diced (for garnish)

Steps

1. Cut the sole fish fillets into small, bite-sized pieces and place them in a glass or ceramic bowl.
2. Pour the fresh lime juice over the fish, ensuring it's fully submerged. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 20 minutes, allowing the fish to 'cook' in the citrus juice.
3. While the fish marinates, prepare the vegetables: finely chop the red onion, dice the tomato and cucumber, and chop the cilantro and jalapeño pepper.
4. After 20 minutes, check the fish; it should appear opaque. Drain excess lime juice if desired, then add the chopped vegetables, cilantro, salt, and black pepper to the fish.
5. Gently mix all ingredients until combined, then taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
6. Serve immediately in chilled bowls, garnished with diced avocado.
