Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoon oil
  • 1 large onion diced
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 teaspoon grated ginger
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1½ tablespoon curry powder divided
  • 2 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1 14-ounce can coconut milk
  • 1 habanero or Scotch bonnet pepper minced
  • 1½ cups bell peppers sliced - any color or mixed
  • 2 teaspoon bouillon powder
  • 1½ lb fish salmon, red snapper, or any other fish of choice. Cut into 2 to 2½ steaks
  • 2 scallion stalks chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Pat the fish dry with a paper towel, season with salt and set aside.
  • Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the diced onions and cook until translucent, about 3 minutes.
  • Add the garlic, ginger, thyme, and 1 tablespoon curry powder. Cook for about 1 to 2 minutes while stirring constantly. This will help prevent the curry powder from burning.
  • Stir in the tomato paste and diced tomatoes; let them cook for about 1 minute to blend the flavors.
  • Pour in half of the coconut milk. Add the minced habanero, bouillon powder, salt to taste, and the bell peppers. Stir well, cover, and bring to a boil.
  • Add the remaining coconut milk and the remaining ½ tablespoon of curry powder. Stir to combine.
  • Gently place the fish in the sauce. Cook for about 6–10 minutes, or until the fish is tender and flakes easily.
  • Taste and adjust seasonings with salt and pepper if needed. Garnish with chopped scallions and serve hot over white rice or with flatbread.
