Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Cut fish into 1-inch cubes and place in a bowl. Pour lime juice over the fish until completely submerged.

  2. Step 2

    Add red onion and jalapeño to the fish. Stir gently and let sit for 10–12 minutes until fish becomes opaque.

  3. Step 3

    While the fish cures, arrange avocado, pineapple, and kumquat slices on a serving plate or in shallow bowls.

  4. Step 4

    Pour the cured fish and all its lime juice over the fruit and avocado. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  5. Step 5

    Top with fresh cilantro and a pinch of salt. Serve immediately while the fish is cold and the fruit is fresh.
