For the second, we put the yellow pepper in the blender along with 1/4 cup of lemon juice and the ajinomoto.

With the base sauces already ready, and when the half hour of rest of the fish has already passed, we proceed to remove and drain the fish cubes with the help of a strainer. Then place it in a large bowl to be able to mix with the rest of the ingredients.

Then add the cilantro and the finely chopped lemon pepper. Also the rest of the lemon juice which should be half a cup. Stir all this and check the seasoning to rectify the flavor with a little salt.
