Put the fish into a mixing bowl with the lime juice, half the coriander, half the garlic and a big pinch of salt.
Stir to coat and set aside to marinate for at least 15 minutes (the longer the better)
Heat the coconut oil in a large lidded casserole dish and add the onion, red pepper and green pepper and cook for 8 minutes or until starting to soften.
Stir through the cumin, paprika, cayenne pepper, remaining garlic and cook for a further 2 minutes.
Add the tomatoes, tomato paste, coconut milk and chicken stock and stir to combine. Bring to a simmer, then cover and cook for 15 minutes.
Add the fish and simmer for a further 8 minutes with the lid off until the fish is cooked through.
