Ingredients

• 1 lb / 500g firm white fish fillet, no skin, cut into 1/2.5cm cubes (Note 1)
• 1 tbsp lime juice
• ¼ tsp salt
• Black pepper
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1½ tbsp olive oil
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 small onion, finely diced (brown, yellow or white)
• 1 large red bell pepper / capsicum, halved and sliced
• 1½ tsp sugar (any)
• 1 tbsp cumin powder
• 1 tbsp paprika
• 1 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
• ½ tsp salt
• 14oz / 400ml coconut milk (I used low fat)
• 14oz / 400ml canned crushed tomatoes
• 1 cup fish broth (or chicken broth or water)
• 1 tbsp lime juice
• 3 tbsp roughly chopped fresh cilantro / coriander

Directions

• Combine the fish, lime juice, salt and pepper in a bowl. Cover with cling wrap and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
• Heat the 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the fish and cook until just cooked through and light golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
• Reduce the stove to medium high and heat 1½ tbsp olive oil in the same skillet. Add the garlic and onion and cook for 1½ minutes or until the onion is starting to become translucent.
• Add the bell peppers and cook for 2 minutes.
• Add the remaining Broth ingredients. Bring to simmer, then turn down to medium. Cook for 15 to 20 minutes or until it thickens. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
• Return the fish to the broth to reheat - about 2 minutes.
• Stir through lime juice.
• Garnish with cilantro/coriander and serve with rice.
