Classic Ivorian Braised Fish Rice

Assemble the ingredients: fish, lemon juice, turmeric, garlic, bell pepper, tomato, onion.

Warm oil in a heavy pot. Add the fish and cook until braised.

Stir in the aromatics and spices — the backbone of Ivorian flavors.

Add the remaining ingredients and cook gently, stirring occasionally, until tender.

Taste and adjust seasoning; the flavor should deepen as it cooks.

Plate and serve with traditional Ivorian accompaniments such as bread, rice, or fresh herbs.
