Ingredients

1.5 lbs white fish fillets (mahi-mahi or snapper), diced
1 cup fresh lime juice
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1 ripe avocado, diced
1 jalapeno, minced
1 tomato, diced
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp black pepper
2 tsp olive oil
2 cups tortilla chips

Instructions

1

Dice 1.5 lbs diced white fish fillets (mahi-mahi or snapper) into small cubes (about 1/2 inch).
2

Place white fish fillets (mahi-mahi or snapper) in a glass or ceramic bowl (not metal). Pour 1 cup fresh lime juice over white fish fillets (mahi-mahi or snapper) until just covered.
3

Add 1/2 thinly sliced red onion, 1 minced jalapeno, and 1/4 tsp salt. Stir gently.
4

Cover and refrigerate for 30-45 minutes. The white fish fillets (mahi-mahi or snapper) will turn opaque and firm as it cures in the lime juice.
5

Gently fold in 1 diced ripe avocado, 1 diced tomato, and 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro. Drizzle with 2 tsp olive oil.
6

Season with 1/8 tsp black pepper. Taste and adjust salt if needed.
7

Serve immediately in chilled bowls with 2 cups tortilla chips on the side.

Questions

What is Ceviche Dominicano?

Fresh seafood cured in lime juice with red onions, cilantro, and avocado, a refreshing Dominican appetizer with bright citrus and Caribbean flavors. This reference files it under Dominican appetizer: made without cooking, rated easy and about 20 minutes start to finish.

Why fold instead of stir in Ceviche Dominicano?

Step 5 reads: "Gently fold in 1 diced ripe avocado, 1 diced tomato, and 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro." Folding keeps the air you just beat in. Stirring at step 5 would knock it out and the result would come out dense.

Can I use a different white fish instead of the fish in Ceviche Dominicano?

Yes. Any firm white fish of similar thickness works: cod, haddock, pollock and halibut are interchangeable here. Timing follows thickness, not species. As written, the entry for Ceviche Dominicano uses 1.5 lbs white fish fillets (mahi-mahi or snapper), diced.

How hot is Ceviche Dominicano?

Moderately. The heat in Ceviche Dominicano comes from 1 jalapeno, minced. For a milder plate, remove the seeds and ribs from the jalapeno, or use half; nothing else in the method changes. For more, add it at the table rather than in the pot, so everyone sets their own level.

Which part of Ceviche Dominicano can be done ahead?

Everything up to step 4. Step 4 is a built-in pause of 45 minutes: "Cover and refrigerate for 30-45 minutes." Do everything up to that point ahead of time and pick up at step 5 when you are ready to finish.
