Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound white fish fillets (such as cod or tilapia)
  • 1 can (14 ounces) coconut milk
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper, sliced
  • 2 tomatoes, diced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Cooked rice, for serving

Instructions

  1. Rinse the fish fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Cut into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
  2. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion becomes translucent.
  3. Stir in the sliced red and green bell peppers, along with the diced tomatoes. Cook for about 5 minutes until the vegetables soften.

  6. Carefully add the fish pieces to the pot, ensuring they are submerged in the coconut sauce. Cover and simmer for about 10 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flaky.
  7. Once the fish is cooked, remove the pot from heat and stir in the chopped cilantro for a fresh touch.
  8. Sample the stew and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, pepper, or lime juice to taste.
