Steps:
- Soak fish overnight, changing the water several times, or boil it for 30 minutes to an hour in order to reduce the saltiness of the fish. You may take a taste test afterward to make sure the fish is not too salty.
- Rinse the fish and flake it into small bites.
- Put oil in a frying pan, heat and add onions, thyme, garlic and the scotch bonnet pepper slices (Note: Scotch bonnet peppers are very spicy so you may need to adjust the amount. Also, green scotch bonnets are milder than the red ones). Stir for 2 minutes.
- Add fish and stir for 2 minutes.
- Drain ackee, stir into pan taking care not to crush it or break it apart too much.
- Stir in tomatoes and cook a little longer till they are soft.
- Take a taste test. Sprinkle with pepper and add salt if needed.
- Serve alone, or with white rice.

[email protected]This dish was a bit too salty for my taste, but I think that's because I used a bit too much saltfish. Next time I'll use less and see how it turns out.
