PREPARATION
These steps are followed for the preparation of Tostada With White Fish Ceviche And Avocado:
- Prepare The Fish: Dice the white fish into small, evenly sized pieces so the citrus cures it uniformly. Consistent size improves texture and ensures balanced flavour.
- Marinate The Fish: Place the fish in a bowl and add the lime juice, mixing gently. Allow it to rest for 15 to 20 minutes until the flesh turns opaque and tender.
- Prepare The Avocado: While the fish cures, dice the avocado into small cubes. Keeping the pieces similar in size creates a smoother topping and cleaner presentation.
- Assemble The Tostada: Spoon the cured fish evenly over the tostada, spreading it gently so the base stays crisp. Layering carefully prevents breakage.
- Finish And Serve: Scatter the diced avocado over the fish and serve immediately. Fresh assembly preserves texture and enhances flavour contrast.
