Soak salt fish in water overnight to remove excess salt.

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

Remove the fish from the pot, let cool, then flake into small pieces.

Mix flour, baking powder, and black pepper in a bowl.

Add water gradually, stirring until a dough forms.

Knead the dough briefly, then divide into small balls.

Flatten each ball slightly to form dumplings.

Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and add the dumplings.

Cook the dumplings for 10-12 minutes until they float to the top.

In a skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat until shimmering.

Add garlic, onion, and green onions; sauté until fragrant.

Stir in the flaked salt fish, thyme, scotch bonnet pepper, and lime juice; cook for 5-7 minutes.

Serve the sautéed salt fish alongside the dumplings.
