Cooking Instructions

  • Slice the bell pepper, carrots, and green pepper into strips. Slice the potato into halves and then into 1" pieces. Cut each clove of garlic in half.
  • Heat a large pan on medium heat, then coat the bottom in about ⅓ cup olive oil.
  • Add all of the veggies to the pan and sauté on medium heat for 2-3 minutes.
  • Season with paprika, salt, cumin, turmeric, and tomato paste; stir and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
  • Lower the flame to medium/low. Add half of the cilantro and about ¾ cup of water; stir everything together. Cover and cook for about 12-15 minutes until veggies are tender.
  • Lightly salt the fish fillets and place them into the pan, ensuring they are coated in the sauce. If necessary, add another ¼ cup water. Spoon the sauce over the fish.
  • Top with remaining cilantro, cover, and cook on low flame for about 20-25 minutes, spooning the sauce over the fish halfway through.
  • Add lemon slices from ½ a lemon at the end and squeeze the remaining lemon juice over the top before serving.
