    Cut the fish into 1/2-inch cubes and place in a glass or ceramic bowl.

    Add lime juice, minced garlic, diced jalapeño, and salt to the fish. Mix gently.

    Cover and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes, stirring once halfway through.

    Drain the onions and add to the marinated fish along with chopped cilantro.

  8. 8

    Gently fold in the corn kernels and season with black pepper.

Chef's Note

"This vibrant ceviche brings the taste of Lima's coast to your table - the lime juice "cooks" the fish perfectly while you prep. Serve with crispy corn nuts or plantain chips for an authentic touch that'll transport you to Peru."
