Print Recipe

A quick and easy tropical ceviche recipe combining fresh white fish with juicy mango and a zesty lime marinade, perfect for a refreshing summer meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound firm white fish (mahi-mahi, snapper, or halibut), cut into 1/2-inch cubes
  • 1 cup freshly squeezed lime juice (about 8 limes)
  • 1 large ripe mango, peeled and diced
  • 1/2 medium red onion, finely chopped
  • 1 small jalapeño, seeded and finely diced (optional)
  • 1/4 cup loosely packed fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 medium tomato, diced (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 ripe avocado, diced (optional)

Instructions

  1. Rinse the fish under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Cut into uniform 1/2-inch cubes.
  2. Squeeze fresh limes to yield about 1 cup of juice. Strain to remove seeds and pulp if desired.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the cubed fish and lime juice. Stir gently to coat all pieces. Cover and refrigerate for 15–20 minutes until fish turns opaque and firm. Do not marinate longer than 30 minutes.
  4. While the fish marinates, dice the mango, tomato, red onion, jalapeño, and avocado (if using). Chop the cilantro finely.
  5. Optionally, strain out some of the lime juice after marinating to prevent the ceviche from becoming watery.
  6. Add the diced mango, onion, tomato, jalapeño, cilantro, salt, pepper, and olive oil to the marinated fish. Gently fold together, being careful not to mash the avocado.
  7. Let the ceviche rest in the fridge for another 5 to 10 minutes to marry the flavors. Serve chilled with tortilla chips, on tostadas, or in a salad.

Notes

Use sashimi-grade fish for safety and best texture. Marinate fish for 15-20 minutes to avoid toughness. Strain lime juice if too pulpy to prevent watery ceviche. Add avocado last to avoid mashing. Keep ceviche chilled and consume within 24 hours. Optional ingredients like jalapeño and tomato can be adjusted to taste.
