4- Cook the Fish:
- Remove the fish from the marinade and place the fillets into the skillet with the vegetables.
- Pour the coconut milk over the fish and let it simmer on low heat for about 10-15 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
5- Finish:
- Sprinkle the fresh cilantro and remaining lime zest over the dish right before serving.
6- Serve:
- Arrange the fish on a plate with a side of sautéed vegetables, drizzling some of the coconut sauce over the top.
