Step 1
Slice the 1 lb fish fillets thinly against the grain into 1/4-inch pieces. Place them on a plate and refrigerate while you prepare the sauce.
Step 2
In a bowl, combine the 1/2 cup lime juice, 1 tbsp aji amarillo paste, and 1/2 tsp salt. Stir until the paste dissolves.
Step 3
Thinly slice the 1 red onion into half-moons. Rinse under cold water and pat dry to reduce sharpness.
Step 4
Arrange the fish slices on a serving platter over the 2 cups ice. Tuck the onion slices among the fish.
Step 5
Pour the lime mixture evenly over the fish and onions. Let it sit for 2-3 minutes until the fish turns opaque at the edges.
Step 6
Garnish with the 1/4 cup chopped cilantro and serve immediately.
