Ingredients
500g fish fillet (white fish can be used, such as sea bass, hake, tilapia, etc.)
2 tablespoons of palm oil

1 medium onion, cut into thin slices

- Add the onion and garlic to the pan and sauté until soft and golden.
- Add the peppers and tomatoes to the pan and sauté for a few more minutes until they begin to soften.
- Place the fish fillets in the pan and pour the coconut milk over them.
- Cover the pan and cook over low heat for about 15-20 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
