1

Cut the trout into halves and make slits on it to help cook it faster and remove rawness.

2

Squeeze lime juice into the fish and ensure it gets into the cuts.

3

In a bowl of water, add a generous amount of salt and cut hot peppers, then add the fish and squeeze more lime juice.

4

Let the fish soak in the salted water for about 10 to 15 minutes.

5

Prepare seasonings by washing and cutting chives, onion, red pepper, ginger, garlic, and thyme, then set aside.

6

Remove the fish from the soaking water, ensuring to get most of the water out without rinsing it.

7

Massage the fish with onion powder, garlic powder, and grated ginger, then cover and let it sit for 2 to 3 hours.

8

In a pot over medium heat, add butter, then add onion, garlic, and ginger, and sauté for about a minute.

9

Add the remaining seasonings and toss them together, then add the frozen tomatoes and mix well.

10

Add the marinated fish into the pot, ensuring it is well placed in the mixture.

11

Add a little water to the pot, turn the heat down to very low, cover, and let it cook for about 15 to 20 minutes.

12

After 15 minutes, check if the fish is well seasoned and cooked through by using a fork.

13

Turn off the heat and serve the fish with steamed vegetables and oven-baked sweet potatoes.
