Step 1
Toss cubed fish with salt in a bowl. Juice the limes and pour over fish until submerged.
Step 2
Let fish cure in the lime juice for 8–10 minutes. The fish will turn opaque and firm.
Step 3
While fish cures, toss choclo kernels with salt and a splash of oil, then roast in a dry skillet over medium-high heat for 4 minutes until lightly charred.
Step 4
Roast sweet potato cubes in the same skillet with a pinch of salt and oil for 5 minutes until edges are golden and tender.
Step 5
Drain cured fish (reserve a splash of lime liquid). Fold in sliced red onion, minced ají amarillo, and fresh cilantro.
Step 6
Arrange lettuce on a plate. Top with ceviche, scatter choclo and sweet potato around. Drizzle with reserved lime liquid and serve immediately.
