Season the fish with the lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Heat up the olive oil mixed with urucum and braise the onion, garlic, tomato, allowing them to release some of their juices (if that doesn’t happen, add a bit of water or fish stock). Add the fish and cook with the lid on until the meat is tender. Garnish with the herbs and serve with white rice and a pirão (mush) made with the fish’s head.
