Preparation:
Mix the lime juice, orange juice, crushed garlic, cumin, paprika, coriander powder and salt in a small bowl.

Marinate the fish chunks for 1 – 2 hours.

Heat the oil to prepare a refrito or base for the sauce, add the diced onions, tomatoes, bell peppers and salt, cook for about 5 minutes on medium heat.

Add the coconut milk to the refrito, mix it in well and cook for about 10 minutes, if you prefer a thicker sauce you can thicken the sauce by adding ½ tsp of tapioca starch or corn starch.
Add the fish fillets, cover partially and let simmer for about 20-25 minutes.

Sprinkle with cilantro and serve with rice and fried ripe plantains.
