Start by melting 1.5 oz of margarine or butter in a skillet over medium heat.

Add 5 cloves of minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté for a few seconds until fragrant.

Add 1 medium minced onion to the skillet and sauté until the onions become a little transparent, about 3-4 minutes.

Stir in 1 large diced tomato and cook until it softens, about 2-3 minutes.

Add 4 oz of saltfish to the skillet and sauté for a few minutes until well mixed and heated through.

Gently fold in 1 can of ackee, being careful not to mash it, using two forks to toss it gently.

Add tropical Inferno pepper sauce to taste and mix gently to combine without breaking the ackee.

Let the mixture simmer for a few minutes until heated through.
