- 1 tbsp aji amarillo paste
- ¼ cup cilantro

Slice the 1 lb fish fillets thinly against the grain into 1/4-inch pieces. Place them on a plate and refrigerate while you prepare the sauce.

In a bowl, combine the 1/2 cup lime juice, 1 tbsp aji amarillo paste, and 1/2 tsp salt. Stir until the paste dissolves.

Thinly slice the 1 red onion into half-moons. Rinse under cold water and pat dry to reduce sharpness.
