Herby Venezuelan Grilled Fish Flatbread

Assemble the ingredients: fish, lemon juice, chili, bay leaf, cumin, olive oil, bell pepper.

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

Stir in the aromatics and spices — the backbone of Venezuelan 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 Venezuelan accompaniments such as bread, rice, or fresh herbs.
