The crown jewel of Peruvian coastal cuisine, featuring fresh white fish cured in a vibrant, citrusy 'leche de tigre'.
In a large glass bowl, combine the cubed fish with a generous pinch of salt and the grated garlic. Let it sit for 2 minutes to begin the seasoning process.
Use a non-reactive bowl like glass or ceramic to avoid metallic tastes.
Add the red onion, minced pepper, and cilantro to the fish. Toss gently to combine.
Pour the fresh lime juice over the mixture. Stir gently for about 30-60 seconds until the fish turns slightly opaque. Do not over-marinate or the fish will become tough.
The 'cooking' happens instantly with high-quality lime juice.
Serve immediately in chilled bowls alongside the sweet potato rounds and corn segments.
