Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add sweet potato cubes and choclo pieces; cook until just tender, 12–14 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Step 2
While the vegetables cook, cube the fish into 3/4-inch pieces. Place in a bowl with red onion slices.
Step 3
Pour lime juice over the fish and onion. Stir gently and let sit for 8–10 minutes until the fish turns opaque.
Step 4
Stir the ají amarillo paste into the ceviche until evenly combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 5
Plate the ceviche in bowls. Arrange sweet potato and choclo on the side. Sprinkle cilantro over everything and serve immediately.
