Wash the cod fish fillets with lemon juice and cool water, then drain.

Season the cod fish with sea salt, black pepper, Caribbean green seasoning, and curry powder; mix well.

Set the seasoned fish aside while preparing the sauce.

In a medium pot, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.

Add the tomato puree to the pot and bring it to a boil, stirring occasionally to prevent splattering.

Cook the tomato puree until it thickens and deepens in color, about 11 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Add 1.5 tablespoons of tomato paste and sprinkle in smoked paprika; stir to combine.

After the sauce has thickened, gently add 2 cups of coconut milk and stir to combine.

Bring the mixture to a boil and let it cook for 3-4 minutes to cook out the rawness of the coconut milk.

Add the seasoned cod fish pieces to the pot, ensuring they are submerged in the sauce.

Gently stir to coat the fish in the sauce and allow it to cook until the fish is done, being careful not to overcook it.
