Trim the fins and tails of the fish and slice both sides twice to allow flavors to penetrate.

Rinse the fish with lemon juice and pat dry.

Season the fish with adobo seasoning, black pepper, and salt, both inside and outside.

Prepare the vegetables by slicing pumpkin, carrots, potatoes, okra, onion, and bell pepper.

Saute the vegetables (except okra) for 2-3 minutes.

Add potatoes to the sautéed vegetables and season with adobo and garlic powder.

Add 1/3 cup of water to the pot to help the fish steam instead of boil.

Add pimento seeds, okra, scallion, thyme, and a little piece of garlic to the pot.

Place the fish on top of the vegetables and add pieces of butter on top of the fish.

Cover the pot and steam for 15-20 minutes, depending on the size of the fish.

Check for doneness; the fish should be fully cooked and flake easily.
