Introduce the ingredients for the steam fish recipe.

Prepare the vegetables: okro, pumpkin, red sweet pepper, red onion, hot pepper, carrots, scallion, thyme, tomato, corn, christophine, and zucchini.

Wash and prep all the vegetables for steaming.

Prepare the fish: use small red snapper, clean and score the fish if necessary.

In a bowl, add dry ingredients: chicken flavor soup mix, green seasoning, complete seasoning, paprika, and black pepper.

Mix the dry ingredients with the green seasoning to ensure even distribution.

Coat the fish evenly with the mixed seasoning, including inside the fish and on the incisions.

Cover the seasoned fish with foil and allow it to marinate for 15 to 20 minutes.

In a heavy bottom pot, heat 3 to 4 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil over medium-low heat.

Add the remaining green seasoning to the hot oil and stir to infuse the flavors.

Add all the prepared vegetables to the pot and stir to coat them with the seasoning.

Add coconut milk and enough water to cover the vegetables, avoiding sogginess.

Cover the pot and bring the mixture to a boil.

Once boiling, gently place the marinated fish into the pot.

Cover the pot and cook the fish for 10 minutes, flipping it halfway through after 5 minutes.

After flipping, add scallions, okro, and hot pepper to the pot, cover, and allow to steam for an additional 5 minutes.

Turn off the stove and let the vegetables finish cooking with residual heat to avoid overcooking.
