Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup lime juice
  • 3 tablespoons dry jerk seasoning mix
  • 3 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon grated lime zest
  • 1 jalapeno, seeded, and finely chopped
  • 1 1/2 pounds monkfish fillet, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
  • 5 teaspoons peanut oil
  • 2 cups diced fresh pineapple (1/2 to 3/4-inch pieces)
  • 1 cup snow peas
  • 2 cups red bell pepper strips (1 1/2 by 1/2-inch pieces)
  • 2 cups diced fresh mango (1/2 to 3/4-inch pieces)
  • 1 cup carrot strips (1 1/2 by 1/4-inch pieces)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • Serving suggestion: cooked wild rice

Method

  • In a large bowl, combine the lime juice, jerk seasoning, vinegar, soy sauce, lime zest, and jalapeno.
  • Add monkfish and turn to coat.
  • Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for 10 to 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat 2 teaspoons of the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Add the pineapple and cook, shaking the pan, until slightly softened, about 2 minutes.
  • Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
  • Repeat with the snow peas, followed by the red peppers, mango and carrot (cook for 3 to 4 minutes), placing the ingredients in the bowl as they're done and adding another teaspoon of oil, if needed.
  • Remove the monkfish from the marinade and pat dry.
  • Wipe out the skillet with paper towels, taking care as the pan is very hot.
  • Heat the remaining oil over medium-high heat.
  • Add the fish and cook, shaking the pan from time to time, until nicely browned and just cooked through, about 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Return the vegetable-fruit mixture to the pan with the fish and cook, stirring gently just to combine, until heated through.
  • Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and serve immediately over wild rice.
