Instructions:
To prepare this refreshing ceviche, start by prepping your ingredients. Begin by finely chopping the fresh coriander. Clean the red onions by peeling them and then slice them into thin rings.
Next, take the grouper and mackerel fillets, ensuring to remove any skin and bones. Using a pair of tweezers, gently pull out any remaining bones to ensure your fillets are completely bone-free. Once cleaned, cut the fish fillets into small, evenly sized cubes.
Arrange the fish pieces in a shallow dish, ensuring they are not overlapping too much to allow even marination. Add the thinly sliced red onions on top of the fish, followed by the zest of two limes.
Next, sprinkle the freshly chopped coriander over the mixture. Squeeze the juice of the two limes directly onto the ingredients, making sure the fish is completely covered with the lime juice.
Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil over the ceviche, enhancing the flavor and giving the dish a nice glossy finish. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and place it in the fridge to marinate for at least 30 minutes.
Once marinated, serve the ceviche chilled, garnished with lime wedges on the side. The vibrant and tangy ceviche is a perfect light appetizer, ideal for a refreshing start to any meal or a summer gathering.
Enjoy your delicious homemade ceviche, bursting with fresh flavors and the zesty kick of lime and chili.
