Step 1
While the sweet potato roasts (or use pre-roasted), place fish cubes in a glass bowl.
Step 2
Pour lime juice over the fish until fully submerged. Stir gently.
Step 3
Let sit for 8–10 minutes. Fish edges will turn opaque and slightly firm.
Step 4
Drain off about half the lime juice. Fold in red onion, cilantro, aji amarillo, salt, and pepper.
Step 5
Divide sweet potato and avocado between bowls. Top with ceviche and drizzle with remaining marinade.
Step 6
Serve immediately while the fish is bright and the avocado is still creamy.
