    Instructions

    1. 1

      Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add 1 (150 gram) thinly sliced yellow onion and sauté for 5 minutes until softened.

    2. 2

      Stir in 3 minced cloves of garlic, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 0.5 teaspoon ground coriander, and 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant.

    3. 3

      Pour in 1 liter vegetable broth and 1 (400 gram) can diced tomatoes, bringing the mixture to a simmer.

    4. 4

      Add 2 finely minced chipotle peppers in adobo to the simmering broth and cook for 10 minutes to allow flavors to meld, seasoning with salt and black pepper to taste.

    5. 5

      Gently place 4 (150 gram each) white fish fillets into the simmering broth, ensuring they are mostly submerged.

    6. 6

      Poach the fish for 8-12 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

    7. 7

      Carefully remove the poached fish fillets from the broth and transfer them to serving plates.

    8. 8

      Stir 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice and 0.5 cup chopped fresh cilantro into the broth, then ladle the flavorful broth over the fish.
