For the peanut sauce: In a pot, heat 1 tbsp of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add half of the chopped onion and sautรฉ until softened. Add garlic, ginger, and scotch bonnet pepper (if using) and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- 3
Stir in the crushed tomatoes and cook for 5 minutes. Add the peanut butter and whisk until combined. Gradually add the vegetable broth or water, stirring to create a smooth sauce. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat, cover, and cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

While the sauce simmers, prepare the aloko. Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep pan or pot to 350ยฐF (175ยฐC). Fry the plantain slices in batches until golden brown and tender, about 3-4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels and season with salt.
- 5
Grill or pan-sear the marinated fish until cooked through and flaky. This should take about 4-6 minutes per side, depending on thickness.
- 6
Taste the peanut sauce and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. If it's too thick, add a little more broth or water.
- 7
Serve the fried plantains alongside the grilled fish, with a generous portion of the peanut sauce drizzled over everything or served on the side.

- โUse ripe but firm plantains for the best aloko texture.
- โDon't overcrowd the pan when frying plantains to ensure they get crispy.
- โThe peanut sauce can be made ahead of time and reheated.
