I wanted to eat some Peruvian ceviche in Japan with ingredients available there. This version is exclusively fish-based but you could add shrimp, octopus, and shellfish if you'd like.

This dish tastes best if made with Peruvian lemons, but since they're impossible to get hold of here, I used limes instead. Japanese lemons aren't sour enough and have a strange sweetness... For this reason, I use quite a lot of salt, but you can adjust the amount to your taste. Recipe by SOL*

Steps

1

Cut the tuna into 2-3 cm cubes and sprinkle with a lot of salt and a little pepper. Combine the tuna with the finely chopped red chili peppers and celery and set aside for 5 minutes.
2

Mix in the garlic and lime juice.
3

Soak the sliced onion in water and drain it. Sprinkle the onion and finely chopped coriander over the other ingredients and chill in the refrigerator for 5-20 minutes. (The time is up to you; since I prefer the ingredients to be as fresh as possible, I chill it briefly. But if you want the flavours to blend more, then chill it for longer.)
4

Place the lettuce and potato on a plate, cover that with the tuna mixture, then top the salad with cancha corn, or your choice of other condiments.
