Ingredients

  • 12 oz sushi-grade or sashimi-grade white fish (halibut or sea bass), cubed 1/2-inch
  • 4 whole limes, juiced
  • ½ whole red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 whole fresh aji amarillo or serrano chile, minced
  • 1 whole sweet potato (medium, cut into wedges)
  • 1 cup choclo corn (canned or frozen), drained
  • 1 pinch salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. 1

    Cut sweet potato into 1/2-inch wedges, toss with olive oil and salt, spread on a sheet pan. Roast at 425°F for 15 minutes until golden and tender.

  2. 2

    While sweet potato roasts, add cubed fish to a bowl with lime juice, red onion, minced chile, and a pinch of salt.

  3. 3

    Stir gently and refrigerate for 8–10 minutes until fish turns opaque and firms from the lime acid cure.

  4. 4

    In the last 3 minutes of roasting, heat a dry skillet over medium-high and char the drained choclo for 2 minutes, shaking the pan.

  5. 5

    Divide ceviche into bowls and top with charred choclo, roasted sweet potato wedges, and extra lime juice and salt to taste.
