Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat until melted.

Add onions and bell peppers to the skillet, sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.

Add the marinated fish to the skillet, cooking until it flakes easily, about 6-8 minutes per side.

In a separate pot, combine rice, peas, and coconut milk; bring to a boil.

Reduce heat and simmer the rice mixture until cooked, about 20 minutes.

Fry plantains in a separate pan until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Serve the fish with rice and peas, garnished with fresh thyme and lime wedges.

Enjoy with a side of fried plantains and a refreshing drink.
