   Cook the Kale: Warm pan used to sear fish over medium-high heat and add 1 tsp. olive oil and kale. Cook until barely wilted, about 1-2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, transfer to a plate, and return pan to medium-high heat. No need to wipe pan

   Make Triple Pepper Sauce: Add 1 tsp. olive oil and bell peppers to pan and cook 2-3 minutes, or until peppers begin to soften. Add 2” lengths of green onion, soy sauce, grape tomatoes, ½ cup water, remaining Caribbean seasoning, and cornstarch slurry. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, and cook until thickened, about 3-4 minutes. Add habanero to taste, adding only a pinch at a time, until desired heat is reached. Thoroughly wash hands and any utensils peppers have touched after this step. Season sauce to taste with salt and pepper.
