Mackerel and salmon ceviche is an exquisite dish rooted in Peruvian culinary traditions. It harmoniously combines the freshness of seafood with the spiciness of the marinade. The cold smoking of mackerel adds a rich aroma, while the tender salmon fillet balances the flavor with its softness. The secret to the dish's brightness lies in lime, which provides a refreshing tang, and cilantro that offers a light spiciness. Fried squid adds textural variety, while pickled red onion contributes a sweet note. This dish is perfect for both summer dinners and festive gatherings, awakening the appetite with its appealing appearance and rich taste.
