  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped red onion
  • 4 slices jalapeño

  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt, or more to taste
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper, or more to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cumin, optional
  • ½ avocado, firmly tender, finely diced

Ingredient Details to Know
*If using halibut or red snapper remove the skin and dark flesh; bay scallops should be cut in half if they’re big; and shrimp should be shelled and deveined (you can use raw or pre-cooked).
**Stick to radicchio leaves, corn or plantain chips to keep this recipe gluten-free.

Instructions
 

  • In a glass or nonreactive bowl, combine fish with lime juice, onion and jalapeño. Cover and marinate (“cook”) for 3 to 4 hours, until the fish is opaque all the way through.
  • Lift the fish out of lime juice (discard leftover juice) and place fish in a second bowl with the cut-up orange and grapefruit sections plus 1 tablespoon of each of their juices, olive oil, diced tomato, sliced scallion, cucumber, salt, pepper and cumin, if using.
  • Toss everything together. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste. Then gently fold in the avocado.
  • Serve in small pretty glasses, and garnish with radicchio and optional flatbread or tortilla chips on the side.
