Instructions

  1. Rub the fillets with lime juice, a little salt and pepper, then let them rest for 10 minutes.
  2. Heat the oil and sauté the sliced onion and bell pepper for 4 minutes, until soft.
  3. Add the chopped garlic, then the diced tomatoes and tomato paste. Cook for 8 minutes to thicken the sauce.
  4. Pour in the water, add the thyme and the whole pepper, then bring to a gentle simmer.
  5. Lay the fish fillets in the sauce, cover and poach for 8 to 10 minutes over low heat, without stirring so they don't break.
  6. Chop the parsley, sprinkle it over the dish, remove the pepper and serve right away.

Variations and tips

Spicy version. Keep the pepper pierced in the sauce for more heat.
