Follow The Directions
01
Step
Prepare the Fish: Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and pepper. Squeeze the juice of one lime wedge over each fillet, gently rubbing it in. Set aside to marinate for 10 minutes.
02
Step
Sauté the Aromatics: Heat the coconut oil or olive oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, red bell pepper, green bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, and celery. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften, about 5 minutes.
03
Step
Infuse with Flavor: Add the minced garlic, chopped ginger, and seafood seasoning to the pot. Cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 minute.
04
Step
Build the Broth: Stir in the fire-roasted diced tomatoes and chopped green onions. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook, uncovered, for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
05
Step
Gently Poach the Fish: Arrange the marinated fish pieces on top of the vegetable mixture. Pour the coconut milk evenly over the fish and vegetables.
06
Step
Simmer to Perfection: Bring the soup back to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
07
Step
Adjust and Serve: Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with more salt, pepper, or lime juice, if needed. Serve hot, garnished with fresh lime wedges and extra chopped green onions, if desired.
For a richer flavor, use full-fat coconut milk.
Feel free to add other vegetables like zucchini, mushrooms, or spinach.
If you don't have seafood seasoning, you can use a combination of paprika, cayenne pepper, and dried herbs.
The soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Serve with a side of rice or crusty bread to soak up the flavorful broth.
