Jacq: I learned this recipe from my dear friend Faith, who is from Jamaica. She told me this is how they do it down in the islands, and oh, man, do they do it right! The fish comes out tender and flaky and the vegetables add the perfect balance of acidity, sweetness, and heat. Serve this with Red Quinoa with Herbes or The Happy Hippy Quinoa Salad and a side of Roasted Curried Cauli
