Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Arrange fish slices on a chilled plate, slightly overlapping.

  2. Step 2

    Pour lime juice over the fish until just covered—it will turn opaque as it cures, ~5 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Scatter red onion and cilantro over the fish.

  4. Step 4

    Drizzle ají rojo in a thin line across the plate.

  5. Step 5

    Sprinkle sea salt evenly over everything.

  6. Step 6

    Serve immediately with extra lime wedges.

Tools you’ll need

  • sharp knife (very sharp—sushi knife preferred)
  • cutting board
  • small bowl or dish for lime juice
  • chilled plate
