Ingredients

  • 1 pound fresh sea bass fillets, skin removed
  • 1 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 1/2 medium red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 jalapeno pepper, seeds and ribs removed, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

  3. In a separate bowl, combine the red onion, jalapeno pepper, cilantro, olive oil, cumin, coriander, paprika, and salt. Mix well to combine.
  4. Drain the sea bass from the lime juice marinade and add it to the onion mixture. Toss gently to coat the fish in the spices and herbs.
  5. Allow the ceviche to sit at room temperature for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
  6. Serve the Moroccan spiced sea bass ceviche chilled or at room temperature, garnished with lime wedges.
