Fish and Marinade

Method

Marinating the Fish

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a mixing bowl, combine lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and paprika.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Flounder

    Add the flounder fillets to the marinade and coat well. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

Cooking the Stew

  1. 3

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion, bell pepper, and carrot. Sauté until vegetables are tender, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 4

    Add Garlic and Tomato Paste

    Stir in the minced garlic and tomato paste. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring frequently.

  3. 5

    Add Liquids and Seasonings

    Pour in the coconut milk and vegetable broth. Stir in dried thyme, bay leaf, and red pepper flakes. Bring to a simmer.

  4. 6

    Cook the Flounder

    Gently place the marinated flounder fillets into the stew. Cover and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

  5. 7

    Finish with Green Onions

    Remove the bay leaf and garnish the stew with chopped green onions before serving.
