Soak salted fish in water for several hours to reduce saltiness.

Drain and rinse the fish, then boil in fresh water for 15-20 minutes until cooked.

Remove the fish from water and flake into pieces, discarding skin and bones.

Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat and sauté garlic, onion, and bell pepper until fragrant.

Add flaked fish to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Season with black pepper, thyme, and lime juice to taste.

Peel green plantains and cut into thick slices.

Heat oil in a separate skillet over medium heat and fry plantain slices until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Remove fried plantains and drain on paper towels to absorb excess oil.

Serve the salted fish alongside the fried plantains, garnished with chopped scallions and hot pepper.
