Ingredients

Pacific cod
1 lb, cubed
Lime juice
1/2 cup, freshly squeezed
Lemon juice
1/4 cup, freshly squeezed
Orange juice
1/4 cup, freshly squeezed
Red onion
1 small, finely chopped
Tomato
1 medium, diced
Jalapeño

Cilantro
1/4 cup, chopped
Salt
to taste
Tortilla chips
for serving

Instructions

  1. In a large glass or ceramic bowl, combine the cubed Pacific cod, lime juice, lemon juice, and orange juice. Ensure the fish is fully submerged in the citrus juices, which will 'cook' the fish through acidity.
  2. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the fish turns opaque and has a firm texture, ensuring the freshest taste.
  3. Once the fish is ready, gently drain excess liquid from the ceviche, reserving a small amount of the marinade for added flavor.
  4. In the same bowl, add the finely chopped red onion, cilantro, jalapeños, and diced tomato to the marinated fish. Gently stir to combine all the ingredients, taking care not to break the fish.
  5. Season the ceviche with salt to taste, and for an extra citrusy kick, drizzle some of the reserved marinade over the mixture.
  6. Serve your Spicy Pacific Cod Ceviche chilled, accompanied by crispy tortilla chips for a delightful crunch that perfectly complements the fresh flavors.
