Instructions

1
Heat the Coconut Oil in a heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat until shimmering.
2
Add the onion and cook until golden and softened, 6-8 minutes, stirring so it doesn't catch.
3
Stir in the garlic plus the allspice, scotch bonnet pepper and dried thyme; toast for about a minute until the kitchen smells incredible.
4
Add the snapper, turning every piece through the spice base so it's fully coated, and sear lightly.
5
Pour in the coconut milk, bring to a gentle bubble, then cover and simmer until the snapper is tender.
6
Uncover and reduce until the sauce clings to a spoon. Finish with fresh thyme and a squeeze of lime.
