Season fish with lemon juice, salt, and a pinch of pepper. Let it marinate for fifteen minutes while you prepare the sauce ingredients.

Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet. Saute sliced onions for five minutes until translucent, then add garlic and cook one minute more.

Add chopped tomatoes and whole scotch bonnet peppers. Cook for eight minutes until the tomatoes collapse into a rich, thick base.

Stir in the palm nut cream with one cup of water. Mix until smooth and bring to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Nestle the seasoned fish into the simmering sauce. Cover and cook on low heat for fifteen minutes until fish is flaky and cooked through.

Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot over white rice or alongside fufu to soak up the rich palm nut sauce.
