Step 1
Slice the 1 lb salmon fillet thinly against the grain, about 1/8-inch thick. Arrange slices on a chilled plate, overlapping slightly.

In a small bowl, whisk together the 1/2 cup lime juice, 1 tbsp aji amarillo paste, 1/2 tsp salt, and 2 tbsp olive oil until well combined.

Thinly slice the 1/2 red onion into half-moons. Soak in cold water for 5 minutes to mellow the bite, then drain well.

Peel and slice the 1 avocado into thin wedges or slices.

Scatter the red onion and avocado over the salmon slices.
Step 6
Pour the lime sauce evenly over the salmon, onion, and avocado.
