Step 1
Slice the 1 lb fish fillets thinly against the grain, about 1/4-inch thick. Arrange the slices in a single layer on a serving platter.
Step 2
Thinly slice the 1 red onion into half-moons. Mince the 1 small chili and 2 garlic cloves. Scatter the onion, chili, and garlic over the fish.
Step 3
Juice the 4 limes and 1 lemon into a bowl. Pour the citrus juice evenly over the fish, ensuring all pieces are coated. Sprinkle with the 1/2 tsp salt.
Step 4
Let the fish marinate in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes, until the fish turns opaque and firm to the touch.
Step 5
Drizzle the 2 tbsp olive oil over the top just before serving. Serve immediately, straight from the platter.
