Ingredients
-
3 tablespoons canola oil, divided
-
2 medium onions, halved and thinly sliced
-
2 medium carrots, cut crosswise into thirds and sliced into thin strips
-
1 medium bell pepper, thinly sliced
-
1 habanero chile, seeded and thinly sliced
-
½ teaspoon allspice berries, cracked, plus 3 whole berries
-
½ teaspoon black peppercorns
-
3 sprigs fresh thyme
-
1 ½ cups cane vinegar (see Tip)
-
1 ¼ pounds red snapper or 2 ½ pounds porgy (about 4 small), cleaned and heads removed
-
½ teaspoon salt
-
¼ teaspoon ground pepper
Directions
-
Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onions, carrots, bell pepper, chile, cracked and whole allspice berries, peppercorns and thyme. Cook, stirring often, until the vegetables soften, about 10 minutes. Add vinegar and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
-
Meanwhile, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle both sides of fish with salt and pepper. Cook, turning once, until just cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes per side, depending on thickness. Remove from heat. Pour the vegetables over the fish. Let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes before serving.
To make ahead
Refrigerate marinated vegetables (Step 1) for up to 1 week.
Tip
If you can't find cane vinegar, you can substitute the same amount of cider vinegar and 1 teaspoon dark brown sugar.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.
* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
