Instructions

Step 1

Start by mixing the halibut cubes with the lime juice, lemon juice, tequila, minced jalapeños, and half of the diced mango in a glass or ceramic bowl. Cover it up and pop it in the fridge for about an hour and a half to let the flavors meld and “cook” the fish. After that, add in the chopped green pepper, sweet onion, and red onion. Give everything a good stir, cover it again, and let it chill for another 30 minutes. When you’re ready to serve, gently fold in the rest of the mango along with the fresh cilantro and parsley. Taste it and add a little salt if you think it needs it. Enjoy!

Storage Tips

Ceviche is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. After that, the fish texture may change, and flavors can become too strong. Avoid freezing as it will alter the texture of the fish.
