Gulf Snapper & Aji Amarillo Aguachile

Method

Preparation and Assembly

1

Prepare the Snapper

Cut the Gulf Snapper fillets into bite-sized pieces. Place them in a bowl.

2

Marinate

In a separate bowl, mix the Aji Amarillo paste, lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Pour this marinade over the snapper pieces, ensuring they are well-coated. Let it marinate for about 15 minutes in the refrigerator.

3

Add Vegetables

After marinating, add the chopped cilantro, sliced red onion, and cucumber to the snapper. Toss gently to combine.

4

Serve

Spoon the aguachile mixture onto a serving platter. Garnish with toasted chia seeds and chopped shiso leaves. Serve with corn chips on the side.
