Ingredients

  • 1 lb fresh white fish (sea bass, halibut, or snapper), cut into bite-sized chunks
  • 5 whole fresh limes
  • ½ whole red onion, thinly sliced
  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 tbsp ají amarillo paste (or fresh yellow chili, minced)
  • 2 cups tortilla chips, for serving

Instructions

  1. 1

    Pat fish chunks dry. Place in a bowl and squeeze 4 lime juice over top.

  2. 2

    Add sliced red onion, cilantro, ají amarillo paste, and a pinch of salt.

  3. 3

    Stir gently. Let sit 10 minutes — fish will turn opaque as lime cooks it.

  4. 4

    Squeeze remaining lime over ceviche. Taste and adjust salt.

  5. 5

    Serve in bowls with tortilla chips on the side for scooping.
