Instructions

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. Step 3

    Thinly slice the 1 red onion into half-moons. Rinse under cold water and pat dry to reduce sharpness.

  4. Step 4

    Arrange the fish slices on a serving platter over the 2 cups ice. Tuck the onion slices among the fish.

  5. 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.

  6. Step 6

    Garnish with the 1/4 cup chopped cilantro and serve immediately.
