Rub the fish fillets with half of the salt and the black pepper, then dust lightly with flour.
Fry the fish in vegetable oil for 3 minutes per side and transfer to a plate.
Slice the red onions thickly and saute in the same pan for 5 minutes.
Add the garlic, aji amarillo paste, bay leaves, cumin, and thyme.
Add the grape vinegar, fish stock, and remaining salt, then boil the sauce for 8 minutes.
Set the fried fish into the sauce and let it absorb the flavor over low heat for 5 minutes.
Serve escabeche de pescado warm with boiled sweet potatoes.
💡 Tip: Do not cook the onions until fully soft; a slight bite in the escabeche sauce preserves the dish's character.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve the fish warm with sweet potatoes, boiled egg, and lettuce leaves.
