Ceviche is a traditional Peruvian dish that uses lime juice instead of heat to "cook" the fish. Tender white fish gets a refreshing hit of lime and spice from jalapeño peppers. This simplified ceviche delivers that delicious fresh punch of flavor you expect but is so easy. It's perfect for showing off to friends or a simple light meal at home.

Tips
Some examples of types of fish that work well in this dish are snapper, sea bass, pollack, halibut, or sole. Just make sure the fish you find is as fresh as possible.
Ceviche can be kept in the fridge for two to three days, but it does not freeze well so eat is up as soon as you can.
