Mahi mahi avocado ceviche is a Peruvian-style ceviche made with fresh mahi mahi fish and Peruvian yellow pepper called aji amarillo, which gives it a distinct flavor. The ceviche is creamy due to the avocado and is served with Peruvian corn, onions, leche de tigre (citrus-based marinade), and garnished with microgreens. It offers a milder and creamier variation of ceviche compared to traditional spicy versions.
