A vibrant and refreshing aguachile dish made with fresh seafood, lime juice, and a medley of vegetables, perfect for summer gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 stalk Celery
  • 1 medium Cucumber
  • 2 medium Serrano or jalapeno chiles
  • 1 bunch Cilantro
  • 1/2 cup Lime juice
  • 1/2 cup Water
  • 1 tablespoon Crushed, dried chiltepin chiles
  • 1 pound Skinless yellowtail fillet
  • 1 medium Avocado
  • 1 medium Shallots or red onion
  • 1/4 cup Chopped cilantro

Instructions

  1. Blend the Marinade: Combine celery, cucumber, serrano chiles, cilantro, lime juice, water, and crushed chiltepin chiles in a blender. Blend until smooth and well-combined. Pour the mixture through a fine strainer into a bowl to remove solids and let it drain for 20 minutes.
  2. Soak the Shallots: Slice the shallot or red onion thinly and soak the slices in lime juice to mellow their sharpness and infuse a delightful citrus flavor.
  3. Prepare the Fish: Cut the skinless yellowtail fillet into thin slices about 1/4 to 1/8 inch thick for optimal marinating and texture.
  4. Plate the Fish: Pour a small amount of the strained marinade onto a serving plate or shallow bowl. Arrange the fish slices on top of the marinade evenly.
  5. Garnish Beautifully: Top the fish with thin slices of avocado, the soaked shallots, chopped cilantro, and additional sliced chiles if desired for extra heat and presentation. Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh and zesty flavors.

Notes

For the best flavor, always use fresh ingredients. Adjust spice levels according to your preference.
