Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Making the Cornmeal Base

    Set aside the cornmeal base.

  2. 2

    Preparing the Fish

    Rinse the fresh fish under cold water and pat dry. Drizzle with 2 tbsp of lime juice, then sprinkle minced garlic, spices, and salt over the fish. Let it marinate for about 15 minutes.

  3. 3

    Cooking the Fish

    Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a little coconut oil. Cook the marinated fish for 5-7 minutes on each side or until cooked through and flaky. Once cooked, remove the fish and set aside.

  4. 4

    Sautéing the Vegetables

    In the same skillet, add more coconut oil if needed, and sauté chopped onion and bell pepper until they are soft and translucent (about 5 minutes). Add chopped tomatoes and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in chopped cilantro and cook for another minute.

  5. 5

    Assembling the Dish

    Using a sharp knife, cut the cooled cornmeal base into squares. Place each square on a serving plate and top with sautéed vegetables and a piece of the cooked fish. Garnish with extra cilantro and lime wedges if desired.
