Rinse the salted pollock under cold water to remove excess salt.

Place the rinsed fish in a pot of cold water and bring to a boil to leech out more salt.

Once boiling, set the fish aside and use the same water to boil the green bananas.

Cut off the ends of five green bananas and make a split down the middle for easier peeling.

Add the bananas to the boiling water and ensure they are covered.

In a skillet, heat 3-4 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.

Add chopped sweet bell peppers, sliced red onion, and sliced green onion to the skillet; sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.

Add diced tomatoes to the skillet and cook until softened, adding water as needed to prevent dryness.

Break up the cooked fish and add it to the skillet, mixing with the vegetables and adding more water if necessary to combine flavors.
