Belizean Steamed Fish

"I bought a recipe book by a local women's group on my recent trip to Belize (Silly Bug & Bittle Recipes) and this one sounds like something I would like. I'll be making it without the green pepper, but left it in the recipe as many people probably would like it that way."

  1. I have made and enjoyed this recipe. Used Caribbean caught red snapper and olive oil in place of the given oil options. The lime juice and curry complimented each other very well to create a marvelous flavor profile. This is both healthy and delicious and pretty much a meal in it's self. All I added as a side was a fresh green salad. My fish was well cooked at the given 10 min mark.
