Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

2 pounds skinless halibut filet, or other firm white fish
1 cup all-purpose flour
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, sliced
1 red bell pepper, cut into strips
1 green bell pepper, cut into strips
1 scotch bonnet or habanero pepper, halved (optional)
2 cloves garlic, sliced
4 sprigs fresh thyme
2 fresh or dried bay leaves
1/2 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
1/2 teaspoon whole allspice
1 cup malt vinegar
1 cup water

Steps:

Cut the fish into 2-inch wide strips and pat them dry. Season the flour with salt and pepper, dredge the fish in it, and pat off any excess flour. Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Saute the fish until it is lightly browned on both sides, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels and then put the fish in one layer into a shallow glass dish.
Drain the oil from the skillet, return it to medium heat, and add 3 tablespoons fresh olive oil. Add the onions, bell peppers, and scotch bonnet, if using, and cook until the vegetables begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, thyme, bay leaves, peppercorns, and allspice and cook for another 2 minutes. Pour in the vinegar and water and bring it to a boil. Spoon the vegetables and herbs over the fish and then add the vinegar sauce. Serve hot or let it cool to room temperature and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
