Chef's tip
Season to taste - salt substitutes can taste bitter in larger amounts, so start with less.

For serving

1 small red onion, very thinly sliced into half-moons
1 ear fresh corn, kernels cut from the cob (or ½ cup frozen corn, thawed)
1 small sweet potato, boiled and cut into ½-inch cubes
2 tbsp fresh cilantro leaves
1 tsp black sesame seeds (optional)
cancha (toasted peruvian corn nuts), for serving (optional)

Instructions

1
Place the fish in the freezer for 15–20 minutes until very firm but not frozen solid — this makes slicing much easier and cleaner.
2
While the fish chills, make the leche de tigre: whisk together the lime juice, lemon juice, aji amarillo paste, garlic, ginger, fish sauce, sesame oil, and salt in a mixing bowl until fully combined. Taste and adjust salt; the sauce should be bright, spicy, and savory. Pass through a fine-mesh strainer into a clean bowl and discard the solids.
