Rustic Gabonese Spiced Fish Salad

Assemble the ingredients: fish, cumin, potato, coriander, turmeric, chili, water.

Warm oil in a heavy pot. Add the fish and cook until spiced.

Stir in the aromatics and spices — the backbone of Gabonese flavors.

Add the remaining ingredients and cook gently, stirring occasionally, until tender.

Taste and adjust seasoning; the flavor should deepen as it cooks.

Plate and serve with traditional Gabonese accompaniments such as bread, rice, or fresh herbs.
