Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Place cubed fish in a bowl. Pour lime juice over until fish is submerged. Stir gently to coat all pieces evenly.

  2. Step 2

    Let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes. Fish should turn opaque and firm as the acid cures it.

  3. Step 3

    Stir in sliced red onion, cilantro, minced serrano, and salt. Taste and adjust seasoning.

  4. Step 4

    Serve immediately in chilled bowls. Spoon some of the citrus broth over each serving.
