Coarsely blend red bell peppers, onion, thyme, and fresh basil using a chopper until it has a coarse texture.

Heat canola oil in a skillet until some of the oil floats.

Add ginger and garlic paste, black pepper seasoning powder, salt, and fish seasoning to the oil and cook.

Pat dry the large sea bream, then score the fish on both sides.

Generously apply the cooked marinade onto the fish, ensuring it gets deep into the belly and head.

Place onion slices on a baking sheet and put the fish on top of them.

Insert lemon slices inside the belly of the fish (optional).

Wrap the fish in foil and place it in a preheated oven set to broil at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes on the middle rack.

While the fish is cooking, peel and wash yams, then slice them using a crinkle slicer.

Season the yams with salt to taste and deep fry them in hot oil until fully cooked.

Add about 2 tablespoons of water to the yams while frying for better results.

Check the fish after 20-25 minutes; if not done, unwrap the foil, apply a little oil, and return it to the oven for an additional 5 minutes at 400°F (200°C).

Serve the fish with the fried yams and the sauce from cooking as a dip.
