Ingredients: 2 halibut fillets, 6 oz each, skin removed; 1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk; 3 cloves black garlic, thinly sliced; 2 limes, 1 zested and juiced, 1 cut into wedges; 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced; 1 medium onion, thinly sliced; 8–10 fresh okra pods, trimmed and halved lengthwise; 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced; 1 tsp ground cumin; ½ tsp sweet smoked paprika; ¼ tsp cayenne pepper (adjust for heat tolerance); 2 tbsp dendê oil (or neutral oil); ¼ cup fresh cilantro, roughly chopped; Kosher salt and cracked black pepper to taste; 2 sheets parchment paper (12×16 inches each)

A whole halibut fillet steams en papillote with a fragrant nage of coconut milk, lime, and black garlic, surrounded by charred okra and a whisper of dendê oil. The sealed parchment packet arrives at table, releasing aromatic steam and Bahian spice when opened—moqueca's essence concentrated and refined.
