Ingredients


garlic clove 2 peeled and crushed
kosher salt 1 Tbsp
lime juice 1 1/2 cups
cilantro 1 1/2 tsps minced
ginger 1 tsp grated
aji amarillo paste 2 tsps
red onion 1 sliced thin and separated into individual pieces
celery stalk 2 minced into 1/4 inch pieces

Directions

  1. On a cutting board place the crushed garlic. Sprinkle the salt over the garlic. Begin to finely chop the garlic.
  2. Take the flat part of the knife and place over the garlic. Drag the knife across the board with the garlic underneath.
  3. Repeat this process. The garlic will begin to form a paste. Place the garlic paste in a bowl.

  5. In a large serving bowl combine the sliced tilapia, sliced onions and finely chopped celery.
  6. Pour the lime mixture over the fish and mix well.
  7. Take a large piece of plastic wrap and place inside of the bowl pushing down to insure there are no air pockets and that all of the fish is submerged in the lime juice mixture.
  8. Place the bowl in the refrigerator for 2 to 5 minutes.
  9. Remove and serve immediately.
