   • In a small saucepan, combine the coconut cream, finely chopped onions, salt, chopped chillies, lemon juice, and cornstarch paste (made by mixing cornstarch with a little cold coconut cream).
   • Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming.
   • Ensure the sauce does not boil vigorously, as it may become lumpy.
   • Simmer the sauce for 3 minutes, then remove it from the heat. Set aside.

2. Prepare the Fish:

   • Season the all-purpose flour with salt and pepper in a shallow dish.
   • Dip each fish fillet into the seasoned flour, ensuring it is evenly coated.
   • Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
   • Lightly brown the floured fish fillets in the hot oil, cooking them for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

3. Assemble and Bake:

   • Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
   • Place the browned fish fillets in a casserole dish in a single layer.
   • Pour the prepared coconut sauce over the fish, ensuring each fillet is generously coated.
   • Garnish the dish with slices of fresh tomato for added color and flavor.
   • Cover the casserole dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and the fish to cook through.

4. Serve and Enjoy:

   • Once baked, remove the casserole dish from the oven.
   • Serve the Pacific Island Fish in Coconut Sauce hot, accompanied by steamed rice or your favorite side dishes.
   • Garnish with fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley for an extra burst of freshness.
