Step 1
Place cubed fish in a bowl. Pour lime juice over until fish is submerged. Stir gently to coat all pieces evenly.
Step 2
Let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes. Fish should turn opaque and firm as the acid cures it.
Step 3
Stir in sliced red onion, cilantro, minced serrano, and salt. Taste and adjust seasoning.
Step 4
Serve immediately in chilled bowls. Spoon some of the citrus broth over each serving.
