Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Combine cubed fish, lime juice, salt, and half the red onion in a bowl. Stir gently to coat. Let sit for 10 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    While fish cures, boil sweet potato rounds in salted water until just tender, about 5 minutes. Drain and set aside.

  3. Step 3

    Stir corn kernels, remaining sliced red onion, and jalapeño into the fish mixture. Taste and adjust salt if needed.

  4. Step 4

    Fold in cilantro just before serving—don't let it sit too long or it will wilt and darken.

  5. Step 5

    Divide ceviche among bowls. Arrange sweet potato rounds on the side or underneath. Serve immediately with extra lime.
