Ingredients

Instructions

Season the fish with green seasoning, old bay seasoning, and one tablespoon browning, thoroughly coating the fish, then marinate in a container for a minimum of one hour or overnight for more depth of flavor and color.
Add the oil and medium heat using a heavy bottom pan or a large deep skillet.
Once the oil is hot, add the marinated fish and cook for 3-5 minutes on each side until browned, then remove from the pan and set aside.
Add the onion, garlic, ginger, and chadon beni and sauté for 2 minutes.
Add the carrot, tomato, bell pepper, green onions, and one tablespoon of browning and cook for 3-5 minutes using a wooden spoon to stir.
Once the mixture is a chunky salsa-like consistency, return the fish to the pot and cook for 5 minutes. Add water to create a sauce to your preferred consistency.
Remove from the heat and serve over, cooked rice, pouring the chunky sauce all over.
