Method

Prepare the Fish

  1. 1

    Marinate the Fish

    In a large bowl, combine the fresh fish fillets with lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Ensure that each fillet is well coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.

Cook the Onion Mixture

  1. 2

    Sauté Onions and Vegetables

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced onions and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they are translucent.

  2. 3

    Add Garlic and Bell Pepper

    Stir in the minced garlic and sliced bell pepper. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the bell pepper is tender.

  3. 4

    Incorporate Tomatoes and Cilantro

    Add the diced tomato and chopped cilantro to the skillet. Stir well and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the tomatoes soften.

  4. 5

    Season the Mixture

    Sprinkle in the cumin and paprika, mixing everything together. Cook for another 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Cook the Fish

  1. 6

    Add Fish to Skillet

    Gently place the marinated fish fillets on top of the onion mixture in the skillet. Cover the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Serve

  1. 7

    Plate the Dish

    Carefully transfer the cooked fish fillets onto a serving platter. Spoon the onion mixture over the top and garnish with additional cilantro if desired.
