Cooking Instructions

  • Begin by heating a large skillet over medium heat. Pour in the vegetable broth and full-fat coconut milk, stirring together until it reaches a bubbly simmer.
  • Stir in the freshly minced garlic and grated ginger. Allow these aromatic ingredients to infuse into the bubbling mixture for about 2 minutes.
  • Toss in the sliced bell peppers and the spices—cumin and paprika. Let it simmer for 5 minutes, or until the peppers are tender.
  • Gently lower the white fish fillets into the aromatic broth. Cook for approximately 10 minutes, until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
