Stir in the berbere spice blend and tomato paste. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the spices are fragrant and the tomato paste has darkened slightly.

Add the diced tomatoes (with their juices) and water or fish broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.

Season with salt to taste. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Gently add the fish pieces to the simmering sauce. Ensure the fish is mostly submerged. Cover and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Be careful not to overcook the fish.
