Back to Top3 lbs is a lot. We used 1.75 lbs and it's a ton. Even with the lesser amount of fish, I used the same amount of lime juice but next time, I'd add more lime juice. When we ate this that evening, it didn't taste limey enough for me, but the next day it was better so perhaps make it a day before, too, in addition to adding more lime (and salt). CarolAnn is correct below, you must let it marinate only in the lime juice so the fish cooks appropriately. I seeded the jalapenos but next time, I might keep a few to make it spicer. It lacked the spice we like. Personally I wouldn't waste a good ahi tuna steak (which can be eaten raw if sushi grade) on ceviche. Use a fish that needs to be cooked. Keep your ahi for a different dinner.

otterplay, you obviously do not understand what ceviche is. It is FRESH RAW fish cooked with lime juice. Therefore, searing the fish is not part of ceviche. Mixing the lime juice WITH the oil doesn't allow the fish to cook properly.

A very fresh and light option for dinner that I may have to make again considering I just realized I forgot the olives! But here's my take. Use fresh ahi tuna. Mine were frozen and just didn't look/taste that great. I'd also suggest searing the tuna steaks versus cooking in lime. The sear would put a nice crunch to the fish. Keep the lime juice @ 1/2 cup but I'd mix the oil & lime together and toss all together. The recipe makes alot and is great for hot days, buffet, or just a salsa (without the tuna).
