Add garlic to the pan and cook until fragrant.

Add chopped onions and cook until they start to soften.

Add coconut milk powder to the pan and mix it in.

Add water to cover the ingredients in the pot, but not too much, as this is a steam fish dish.

Add chopped parsley and dried thyme to the mixture.

Cover the pot and let it come to a boil.

Once boiling, add the pre-marinated trout to the pot.

Pour the liquid over the fish to help the seasonings penetrate.

Add hot peppers for extra flavor (optional) and some butter for richness.

Cover the pot again and let it cook for about 5 minutes.

Remove the cover and add okra to the pot.

Cover the pot again and let it cook for about 3 minutes to soften the okra.

Shift the fish around to prevent sticking to the bottom of the pan.

Taste the dish to see if it needs any additional seasoning.
