Instructions
- Check the fish is very fresh, then fillet it, remove the bones and keep it chilled in the fridge.
- Slice the fish into thin diagonal slices of 3 mm, as for sashimi, then arrange them on a cold plate.
- Make the leche de tigre by mixing the lime juice, aji amarillo paste, grated ginger, salt and pepper.
- Finely slice the red onion and rinse it under cold water to remove its sharpness.
- Spoon the leche de tigre over the fish slices just before serving, so they stay firm.
- Garnish with the onion, chopped coriander and a drizzle of sesame oil.
- Serve immediately, with grilled corn and sweet potato if you have some.
Variations and tips
Nikkei version. Add a spoonful of soy sauce and a few drops of yuzu or lemon juice to the leche de tigre.
Easy swap. If you don't have aji amarillo paste, use a fresh yellow chilli finely chopped with a pinch of paprika.
