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.
