Method

Heat the olive oil in a large pan over a medium heat. Add the shallots and fry, covered, for 10 minutes until soft. Add the garlic, season, then pour over 500ml boiling water. Bring to the boil, then simmer for 5 minutes. Add the fish, then simmer for 5 minutes more, uncovered, until just cooked. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fish to a platter to cool (reserve the poaching liquid), then flake into large pieces, discarding any bones and skin.
Heat the coconut oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat and fry the sweet potato for 5-10 minutes until starting to brown. Add the tomatoes and 1 ladleful of poaching liquid, then simmer for 5 minutes, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the sweet potato is tender and the liquid has been absorbed (you may need more liquid if it’s disappearing too quickly). Stir in the jalapeños.
Add the flaked fish and gently toss to warm through. Taste and season, then serve in bowls scattered with the coriander sprigs, pomegranate seeds and a good squeeze of lime juice.
