Fresh, vibrant, and built entirely around bold citrus and spice, this ceviche is the kind of dish that feels like a restaurant-level flex with surprisingly little effort. Cubes of white fish — halibut, sea bass, or cod all work beautifully — cure in a punchy blend of lime and lemon juice, while grated ginger and ground turmeric add a warm, golden depth that sets this version apart from the classic. The "cooking" happens right in the fridge, as the citrus firms up the fish until it's perfectly opaque and tender. Jalapeño brings a clean heat, red onion adds bite, and cool cucumber keeps everything refreshing, while creamy avocado and fresh cilantro round out the finish. A drizzle of olive oil ties it all together with just enough richness. For anyone navigating celery as an allergen, this recipe is naturally free of it — every ingredient is straightforward and easy to verify, with no hidden stalks lurking in a mirepoix or store-bought base. Serve it immediately for the best texture, with extra lime wedges on the side.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the lime juice, lemon juice, grated ginger, ground turmeric, and salt. Stir until the salt dissolves.
Add the fish cubes to the citrus mixture and toss to coat evenly. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 20 minutes, until the fish is opaque throughout and the flesh is firm and no longer translucent at the center when a piece is cut open.
