Instructions
- 01
Slice the red onion thinly with the grain, and toss in a bowl with salt, pepper and lime juice, coating well.
- 02
Add the fish, garlic and fresh chilies, and gently mix.
- 03
Add the tomatoes, cucumber, cilantro and olive oil, and give a stir and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving (45-60 minutes is ideal). The longer you marinate the firmer and more “cooked” the fish will become.
- 04
Before serving, taste and adjust the salt and heat. Add more salt or chilies if you like. If adding avocado, gently fold it in right before serving- you may need to add a pinch more salt.
- 05
To make the optional Avocado Sauce, blend all ingredients in a blender until smooth, adding a bit more water or oil, if needed to get the blades going.
