Steps

  1. Prep first: cube the potatoes, dice the onion, slice the green and red bell peppers, mince the jalapeño and garlic, cut the cod into chunks and chop the cilantro.
  2. Season the cod with half of the salt and the black pepper; refrigerate while you build the stew.
  3. Heat the olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion, green bell pepper and red bell pepper and cook 6 minutes until softened.
  4. Add the garlic and jalapeño, then stir in the cumin, oregano and paprika and cook 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Add the diced tomatoes, chicken broth, potatoes and the remaining half of the salt. Bring to a boil, cover, and simmer 15 minutes until the potatoes are nearly tender.
  6. Stir in the coconut milk and return to a gentle simmer.
  7. Nestle the cod into the stew, cover, and simmer gently 6 to 8 minutes, without stirring hard, until the fish flakes easily and reaches 145°F (63°C).
  8. Off the heat, stir in the lime juice gently. Ladle into bowls and top with the cilantro.
