Prepare the fish by cleaning and seasoning with lemon juice, garlic, and black pepper.

Chop the onions, tomatoes, and bell peppers finely.

Heat vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat until shimmering.

Sauté the onions until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Add the tomatoes and cook until they break down, about 10 minutes.

Stir in the bell peppers, carrots, and cabbage; cook for another 5 minutes.

Add the fish to the pot, along with bouillon cubes, bay leaves, and chili peppers.

Pour in enough water to cover the fish and vegetables, then bring to a boil.

Reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes, allowing flavors to meld.

Remove the fish and set aside; strain the broth if desired.

Add rice to the broth, ensuring it is fully submerged, and cook until tender, about 20 minutes.

Fluff the rice and serve topped with the fish and vegetables, garnished with parsley.
