Brown sugar - 1 tablespoon
Red bell pepper, sliced - 1 cup
Green onions, chopped - 3 stalks
Carrots, peeled and sliced - 1 cup

Step 2: Prepare Sauce
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, mirin, cornstarch, brown sugar, ginger, garlic, and grated pineapple. Set aside.
Step 3: Grill Fish
Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Brush fish fillets with coconut oil on both sides. Season with salt and pepper. Place fish fillets on the grill and cook for about 5 minutes or until they turn golden brown and flake easily, turning occasionally. Remove from grill and set aside.
Step 4: Cook Vegetables
In a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat, add coconut oil and stir-fry sliced red bell pepper and green onions for about 2 minutes until they turn slightly softened. Add sliced carrots and cook for another minute. Add grated ginger and minced garlic, and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Pour in the sweet and tangy sauce and mix well, letting it simmer for about a minute or until thickened slightly.
Step 5: Assemble Dish
Arrange cooked coconut rice on a serving platter or individual plates. Place grilled fish fillets on top of the rice. Spoon the sweet and sour vegetable sauce over the fish, making sure to spread it evenly. Serve with lime wedges for a refreshing taste.
