👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Season the fish steaks with a pinch of salt and pepper, and a squeeze of lime juice; let them marinate for about 15 minutes.
2. In a large pot or Dutch oven, combine coconut milk, chopped onion, garlic, ginger, Scotch Bonnet pepper, thyme sprigs, and pimento berries.
3. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, then add the bell pepper, tomato, and okra.
4. Gently place the marinated fish steaks into the simmering sauce, ensuring they are mostly submerged.
5. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30-35 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and the sauce has thickened to a 'run down' consistency.
6. Garnish with fresh chopped green onions and serve hot, traditionally with boiled yam, dumplings, or rice.
