Mock Ceviche - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 lb tilapia fillet, cut into 2-inch pieces
    1 -2 jalapeno pepper, minced
    1/2 cup lime juice
    1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped and divided
    1 teaspoon fresh oregano, chopped
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    1 large green bell pepper, halved crosswise and thinly sliced
    1 large tomatoes, chopped
    1/2 cup white onion, very thinly sliced
    1/4 cup green olives, quartered
    1 avocado, chopped
Preparation
    Place tilapia in a medium skillet. Cover with water.
    Bring to a boil over high heat, remove from the heat,.
    cover and let stand for 5 minutes.
    Meanwhile, place jalapeno to taste in a small bowl and whisk in lime juice, 2 tablespoons cilantro, oregano and salt.
    Transfer the tilapia to a large, shallow, nonreactive dish with a slotted spoon and pour the lime juice mixture over the top.
    Add bell pepper, tomato, onion and olives; gently mix to combine. (It's OK if the tilapia breaks apart.)
    Cover and chill for at least 20 minutes.
    Sprinkle with the remaining cilantro and avocado just before serving.
