Ingredients

Servings:4
  • 1 lb Fresh Sashimi-grade Sea Bass or Flounder
  • 1/2 cup Lime juice
  • 2 tbsp Soy sauce (Shoyu)
  • 1 tbsp Aji Amarillo paste
  • 1 tsp Fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 piece Garlic clove, minced
  • 1 tsp Sesame oil
  • 1/4 cup Red onion, thinly sliced into feathers
  • 2 tbsp Fresh cilantro leaves(optional)
  • 1 tsp Toasted sesame seeds
  • 1/2 tsp Sriracha or Rocoto paste(optional)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Place the fish in the freezer for 10 minutes to firm up, making it easier to slice thinly.

  2. 2

    Using a very sharp knife, slice the fish against the grain into thin rectangles (sashimi style), about 1/8 inch thick.

  3. 3

    In a small glass bowl, whisk together the lime juice, soy sauce, aji amarillo paste, grated ginger, minced garlic, and sesame oil.

  4. 4

    Arrange the fish slices in a single layer on a chilled serving platter, ensuring they do not overlap significantly.

  5. 5

    Pour the citrus-soy dressing evenly over the fish slices just before serving to prevent the acid from 'cooking' the fish too much.

  6. 6

    Garnish the platter with the thinly sliced red onions and fresh cilantro leaves.

  7. 7

    Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds over the top for texture.

  8. 8

    Serve immediately while chilled, ideally with a side of sweet potato or toasted corn (chulpe).
