Why This Recipe Works
Fresh Ingredients: Using fresh fish and lime juice ensures a vibrant flavor profile that is essential for ceviche.
Quick Marination: A short marination time allows the fish to 'cook' in lime juice without becoming tough.
Balanced Flavor: The combination of acidity from lime, heat from chili, and sweetness from onion creates a harmonious dish.
Chef's Pro Tip: For the best texture, use very fresh fish and serve the ceviche immediately after mixing in the cilantro and avocado.
