Ingredients

2-1/2 pounds white fish fillets

3 garlic cloves

2 tsp salt

3 Tbsp lime juice

1 tsp oregano

1/8 tsp freshly ground pepper

1 to 2 cups AP flour

1/2 cup oil

1 onion, chopped

1 hot green chili pepper, sliced

1 bay leaf

2 cups coconut milk

3 Tbsp tomato paste

Directions

Mix 1 crushed garlic clove with the salt, 2 Tbsp lime juice, ½ tsp oregano, and ground pepper. Strain and pour over the fish fillets, then allow to stand for 1 hour.

Dry the fish and place in a paper bag with flour; shake to coat the fish.

Heat the oil in a skillet and fry the fish until tender and golden brown.

Set aside and keep warm.

Saute/sweat the onion and hot pepper in the oil remaining in the skillet until the onion is tender, about 5 minutes.

Fine chop 2 garlic cloves, then add to the skillet with ½ tsp oregano, bay leaf, coconut milk, and the tomato paste.

Cook for 5 minutes, stirring constantly.

Add the remaining 1 Tbsp lime juice and cook for 2 minutes longer.

Pour over fish.

Serve over rice or pasta.
