Ingredients

Check you have the quantities below.

  • 1 1/2 lb / 700 g firm white fish fillets
  • 2 cups coconut milk
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tomato, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon thyme
  • 1 small, whole or chopped scotch bonnet pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice

Let’s make it

  1. Heat oven to 400 F / 200 C. Put onion, garlic, tomato, thyme, coconut milk, salt, and black pepper in a baking dish.
  2. Nestle fish into the sauce. Add the scotch bonnet whole for milder heat or omit for children.
  3. Bake 18–22 minutes until the fish reaches 145 F / 63 C and flakes easily.
  4. Stir in lime juice and serve with rice or boiled provisions.

Skip the hot pepper in the child portion and spoon on extra coconut sauce.

Cooking time varies with equipment and batch size. Follow school allergy rules for children’s meals; keep perishable lunches cold.
