lime juice

💰Cheaper: lemon juice

Lemon juice is a budget-friendly alternative.

Start by preparing the red onion; cut it into thin slices.

Salt the onion generously and massage it to release juices; let it sit for about 15 minutes to soften.

Rinse the salted onion under cold water to remove excess salt and strain it back into the bowl.

Slice the hot pepper into thin rounds, adjusting the amount based on desired heat level.

Juice several limes to get a good amount of lime juice for curing the fish.

Chop garlic finely and crush it with the flat of a knife to create a paste.

Add the crushed garlic to the bowl with the rinsed onion and lime juice.

Prepare the fish by removing the skin and checking for bones; cut the fish into small, bite-sized pieces.

Combine the fish with the lime juice mixture and let it cure until it looks cooked.

Add diced cucumber, tomatoes, and avocado to the mixture and gently fold everything together.
