Instructions

  1. Finely slice the onion and chop the chilies, removing the seeds if you want a milder sauce.
  2. Finely flake the cooked fish and put it in a bowl.
  3. Add the onion, chilies, diced tomatoes, oil and vinegar.
  4. Season with lime juice and salt, then mix well.
  5. Let it rest for 10 minutes before serving so the flavors blend.

Variations and tips

Mild version. Swap the hot chilies for red bell pepper for a colorful sauce with little heat.
