Easy Fish Ceviche Recipe
I have the perfect recipe to ease us back into the week on this Monday morning…Fish and Mango Ceviche!!! This recipe is perfect for summer. It’s light and bright so it won’t weigh you down in the heat. Bonus: it requires no cooking (in heat at least), so you don’t have to worry about turning on your stove or oven.
If you are not familiar with ceviche, it is a refreshing dish of seafood marinated in citrus juice, very popular in the coastal regions of Latin America and the Caribbean. As with other dishes, there are many variations depending on the country or region. This recipe that I’m sharing today is my brother’s. I love it because is healthy. Refreshing. Delicious. Pretty! AND SO EASY.
Not to mention super fun to eat. Especially if it served with tostones, plantain chips or sweet potatoes chips.
This Easy Fish and Mango Ceviche is a wonderful, absolutely delightful balancing act between tangy, savory, zesty, and sweet. It works wonderfully as an appetizer for summer gatherings, although it is difficult for me to call it “appetizer” since I serve it as a main dish, along with some cut avocado and tostones. However, you decide to serve it, it’s refreshing, zesty, cool, and perfect.
What wine goes well with ceviche?
Nothing goes better with ceviche than a nice glass of wine! Cavit Pinot Grigio has light, refreshing flavors of citrus and green apple, with a balanced character, bright straw gold color, appealing aroma.
Cavit first introduced Pinot Grigio into the United States back in 1977 and as a national push to increase the awareness of the variety, is introducing National Pinot Grigio Day every Friday before Memorial Day.
How to Make Fish Ceviche
Ceviche is surprisingly easy to make. When making it at home, there are just a few key things to keep in mind. The most important is to use the freshest ingredients you can get, and take care not to “overcook” the fish leaving too long in the lime juice. Also, it’s important that the fish is evenly sized so it “cooks” evenly.
This ceviche recipe makes a perfect party summer dish because it’s easy to prepare and absolutely delightful.
Happy Cooking!!!
Easy Fish and Mango Ceviche
Ingredients
- 1 ½ lb fresh, skinless bass or snapper, cut into 1/2-inch dice
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup fresh lime juice (about 6 – 7 limes)
- ½ cup freshly squeezed orange juice (about 1 large orange)
- 2 teaspoons aji-no-moto (umami seasoning) (optional but highly recommended)
- 1 medium red onion, finely sliced
- 1 cup mini sweet peppers, finely diced (about 5 peppers) (I used yellow, orange and red)
- 2 large ripe mangoes, peeled, pitted, and cut into 1/2-inch dice
- 2 – 3 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
Instructions
- Place the fish in a medium glass bowl. Add salt, pepper and the lime juice over the fish and mix gently to combine. Important note: please keep in mind that the lime juice must cover the fish completely for evenly “cooking”. Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator until the fish is white and opaque throughout, about 15 to 20 minutes.
- Empty 1/2 of the lime juice from the bowl.
- Mix the orange juice and aji-no-moto, if using, in a small bowl. Add the mixture to the fish.
- Add onion, sweet peppers, mango, and cilantro. Stir gently.
- Serve, with tostones, plantain chips, or sweet potatoes chips, if desired.

This is a wonderful ceviche! I prepared it last year for the Passover celebration of my family and they loved it! It has now become a bit of a tradition. We will prepare it again this year. Thank you for the recipe!
Hello Michelle! This recipe is one of my favorites. I love to serve it with fried green plantains. I’m SO GLAD you and your family enjoyed it. Thank you for taking the time to come back and let me know!🙂
It is Mango Season here in South Florida, and friends and coworkers have been giving me so many mangoes. Since yesterday was National Ceviche Day, I got the idea to try a mango ceviche. I checked for mango ceviche recipes online and came across this recipe. I normally don’t like sweet/savory combinations, so I wasn’t sure what to expect. To my surprise, this came out AMAZING! It was even better after I let it sit overnight. I used Swai filets, because that is what I had available, and I added a diced jalapeno. The full recipe was too much for me to eat alone, so I brought it to work and all of my coworkers loved it and asked for seconds.
This is going in my rotation to make every mango season. Thank you so much for sharing!
