1 ? 2 pounds white-fleshed skinless fish fillets such as flounder, sole, or corvina (cod)
1 Salt

1 teaspoon chopped cilantro
1 medium onion, chopped fine (1/2 cup)
3 lettuce leaves
4 ears of corn, cooked and cut into 2-inch pieces
1 pound sweet potatoes, roasted in the skin, peeled, and sliced into 1/2-inch-thick rounds
1 pound yuca, peeled, cut into little-finger-sized slices, and boiled until soft
Directions
  1. Cut the fish into strips 1 1/2 inches long by 1/4 inch wide. Soak the strips in lightly salted water for 1 hour to tenderize. Drain well.

  2. 2. Put the fish in a bowl and fold in the lime juice carefully. Add the salt, garlic, and aji and refrigerate for 15 to 20 minutes.
