Rub the fish fillets with half of the lemon juice, half of the salt, and the black pepper, then rest for 10 minutes.
Chop the onions, tomatoes, carrots, potatoes, garlic, and hot pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a pot, fry the onions for 4 minutes, then add the garlic and hot pepper.
Add the tomatoes, carrots, and potatoes to the pot and cook for 5 minutes.
Add the water and remaining salt, then boil until the vegetables are tender.
Add the fish fillets and remaining lemon juice, and cook without breaking the fish.
Serve the caldou with its sauce over the cooked rice pilaf.
💡 Tip: Add the fish after the vegetables are tender; long boiling can break the fillets apart.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve hot with plain rice pilaf and extra lemon wedges.
