Anti Inflammatory No-Cook Ceviche
Bright, citrus-soaked, and loaded with fresh ingredients, this ceviche is the kind of dish that feels indulgent while actually doing your body a serious favor. Sushi-grade white fish like sea bass or halibut brings lean, high-quality protein to the bowl, while avocado adds those creamy, heart-healthy fats that make an anti-inflammatory approach genuinely satisfying rather than restrictive. Fresh lime and lemon juice do all the heavy lifting here — no heat required — and the result is tender, just-set fish with a clean, vibrant flavor that tastes like it came from a coastal restaurant. Jalapeño and cumin layer in gentle warmth and depth, while cilantro and red onion keep everything tasting alive and fresh. Because there's no cooking involved, none of the delicate nutrients in these whole-food ingredients get lost in the process, which is a quiet win for anyone eating with inflammation in mind. The whole thing comes together in under half an hour, and serving it straight from the fridge means it's as refreshing as it is nourishing. Scoop it with chips or eat it straight from the bowl — either way, it disappears fast.

- ¾ cup fresh lime juice (from about 6–7 limes)
- ¼ cup fresh lemon juice (from about 2 lemons)
- ½ small red onion, very thinly sliced
- 1 jalapeño, seeded and finely diced

Instructions
- 1
Use only sushi-grade or sashimi-grade fish labeled safe for raw consumption — this recipe relies entirely on acid marination, not heat, to denature the fish proteins. Cut the fish into ½-inch cubes and place in a large mixing bowl.
- 2
Add the lime juice, lemon juice, and kosher salt to the bowl and stir to coat every piece of fish. The fish should be fully submerged in the citrus juice; add a splash more lime juice if needed.
