Ingredients

Servings:3
  • 1 1/2 lbs Fresh flounder fillets, cut into 1/2 inch cubes
  • 1 cup Fresh lime juice
  • 3 tablespoons Aji amarillo paste
  • 1 medium Red onion, thinly sliced into julienne
  • 1/4 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 clove Garlic, finely minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
  • 1 large Sweet potato, boiled and sliced
  • 1 cup Choclo (Peruvian large-kernel corn), boiled(optional)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Rinse the sliced red onions in cold water and soak them for 10 minutes to remove the harsh bite, then drain well.

  2. 2

    In a large glass or ceramic bowl, combine the cubed flounder with the salt and toss gently to coat.

  3. 3

    Whisk together the fresh lime juice, aji amarillo paste, minced garlic, and grated ginger in a separate small bowl.

  4. 4

    Pour the lime juice mixture over the fish, ensuring every piece is completely submerged.

  5. 5

    Add the soaked red onions and chopped cilantro to the bowl and stir gently to combine.

  6. 6

    Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 15 to 20 minutes; the fish should look opaque on the outside but remain tender.

  7. 7

    Taste the 'leche de tigre' (the marinating liquid) and add more salt or aji amarillo if desired.

  8. 8

    Serve immediately in chilled bowls accompanied by slices of sweet potato and kernels of choclo.
