Place the fish pieces, red onion, chili pepper and garlic in a large bowl.
Pour the lemon juice over the fish mixture until it is completely covered. Make sure the fish is completely immersed in the lemon juice. Cover and refrigerate for about 30 minutes to 1 hour, or until the fish is opaque and cooked by the lemon acid.
Add the chopped coriander to the marinated fish mixture. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
If desired, serve ceviche with slices of cooked sweet potato and corn. You can also serve on a bed of lettuce or iceberg lettuce for added effect.
Ceviche is best enjoyed fresh, so serve as soon as the marinade is ready.
