  5. If you marinated overnight allow the fish to come to room temperature before cooking. Place the fish on the baking pan and cook in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, flip and cook for about 12-15 minutes until the fish is fully cooked.

  6. I didn't take pictures of the stew served with the fish but the recipe I used was included if you need it.

  7. For the stew, clean the pepper and roughly blend with half of the onion.

  8. Heat oil in a saucepan/pot then sauté the remaining onion (diced) along with the minced garlic, thyme, and curry for a couple of seconds.
  9. Add the pepper mixture and fry until it reduces. Season with seasoning powder and salt and continue to fry until oil floats. Check the seasonings and readjust if necessary.
  10. Serve and enjoy!
