Instructions

Squeeze your fresh lime to make ¾ cup of juice.
Evenly dice fresh cod to ¼" or ½" cubes. Add to a medium sized bowl and pour in fresh lime juice and 1 teaspoon of salt. Stir well and place bowl in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, finely slice red onion and add to chilled bowl of ceviche. Return to fridge and dice up tomato, jalapeno and cilantro.
After fish has been marinating for 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours), remove from fridge and add tomato, jalapeno and cilantro. Stir through and season to taste with salt and pepper.
Serve with slices of cooked sweet potato, tortilla chips, saltines or tostadas for a great appetizer or light main course.

Notes

Since lime juice is one of the two main ingredients, using fresh lime juice makes a big difference. If you must use bottled, add 2 teaspoons of sugar and stir to dissolve before adding it to the fish. Fresh lime juice is sweeter and not quite as aggressively acidic. The sugar will temper it, making it more palatable.
This fish, onion and lime juice can marinate for up to a day. Add the fresh vegetables and cilantro closer to serving time to keep them fresh and crisp.
