Ingredients
- 2 pounds fresh tilapia fillets, or other firm white fish, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 4 garlic cloves, chopped
- 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and diced
- 1 red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup freshly chopped cilantro leaves
- 2 cups freshly squeezed lime juice, more if needed to cover fish
Directions
Combine all ingredients except lime juice in a flat-bottomed baking dish. Cover with lime juice, making sure all fish is submerged. Chill for 2 hours.
Serving Option:
Cut the limes in half before squeezing their juice for the recipe and hollow them out once juiced, forming a cup. Flatten the bottom of the lime cup by slicing off a small section at the base. Fill with a heaping amount of Ceviche. Serve on a platter.

This was my first ceviche and it was an absolute delight! I was shocked at the balance of flavors and found myself almost surprised that I had made it myself. It was so delicious I chose to make it as the appetizer for my daughter's graduation party, using the lime skins as the serving cups as Ted suggested. It was an enormous hit. One note: the fresh squeezed lime juice makes a huge difference. Do NOT use the bottled stuff as it's significantly more tart and bitter. I had forgotten to rate this recipe, but I'm making it again tomorrow for guests and it reminded me. I'm so excited to have it again! Thank you Ted for this amazing find.

I made it cause I always wanted to try to make a ceviche and I was very nervous but it came out great. I put it on tostadas so I can have the crunch. Very yummy I would love to make it again.

I had ceviche in Hawaii and have been craving it ever since. This recipe is as good if not better. It is refreshing and goes great with a crisp white wine. My only change is that I added an extra pepper. It will be a staple in our house this summer!
